Question

How can you beat graffiti charges if you have been caught?

Community Answer

If you're caught in the act, stay silent and call a lawyer. If you're merely suspected, argue that the evidence is purely circumstantial.

Most of the inner workings of how Banksy does his work remains a mystery, but it is known that he uses large stencils to create his pieces to allow him to create more intricate pieces without the usual pressure of time.

Question

If I want to spray on walls, would you recommend plastic stencils? Is there another option to secure them except duct tape or spray adhesive? Also, are there certain kind of caps you recommend for it?

Wikihowuser90127

Community Answer

Plastic stencils are the best type of stencil for repeated use because they will not break or become soggy with extended use, like a paper or cardboard stencil might. A wide cap would be advisable because it can cover the stencil faster than a thin cap, reducing the time spent spraying.

Question

Are there metal stencils?

Wikihowuser90127

Community Answer

Metal stencils are much harder to cut, and heavier. Additionally, metal stencils will not be able to bend and fit to the wall like a cardboard or plastic stencil will.
