    I've created two stencils on A4 glossy paper, but they're flimsy when held against a wall. Is there anything i could coat them with to strenghten before i use them. I'm thinking maybe a varnish but worried it'll bend the paper!
    Grateful for any help.

    hi just seen your post, i use stencils a lot, the best material to use are laminating pouches, what you do is : buy a cheap laminator ( i got one in easons for 10euro) also buy some laminating pouches ( they come in different thickness, so buy the thickest grade you can get), then put the pouches through the laminator, and you finish up with a thick sheet thats easly cut and the stencil will last for years,also if you image is bigger than A4, the laminated sheet can be sellotaped together, best of luck
