US Artquest Duro by Graphic Products 3355 Stencil-It Oil Board Stencil Set, 9"

Love the natural beauty and the shape and sizes. Perfect for my craft work.

Got this to put in the window of a cast iron stove. Easy to work with. Just over lapped and secured them in

Easily cut with scissors. My 2-ounce package contained 9 pieces of mica. The smallest two are sort of mitten shaped measure approximately 3.25 to 4 x 6 each, the two largest were approximately 4.25 to 5.5 x 8 inches each, the balance of the package were approximately 5 to 5.5 x 6 to 7.5 inches each. Yes, they are irregular shapes as shown in the photo so don't plan to use them as "glass" in a 5 x 8 frame. A couple were about the thickness of typing paper the rest were more the thickness of greeting cards, one is almost the thickness of a business card.I don't know how mica would work for the scrapbooking thing, but most sheets are thick enough to have the rigidity needed to be used as the mica plate in a tea light incense/resin heater. I often heat pieces of incense sticks, cones, and coils instead of burning them, heating releases the fragrance in a more pure, delicate and non-smokey manner. I'm looking forward to heating sandalwood chips on it.As for those who use the charcoal censers, even if you had to use an extra layer or two over your charcoal and ash layers it is still mica and still has all of the heat transferring properties of the thicker and more expensive traditionally-shaped mica squares that you see marketed for use with the charcoal burners.I thought this was a good buy at $13.99 with free Amazon shipping, its now, $8.97 +$4.37 shipping - I feel gouged. (As most of us do, I checked lots of online sources before ordering and either way it was the best price at the time.)incense, incense burner, charcoal, incense holders, japanese incense, meditation, ash, sticks, cones, coil, Shoyeido Koh ceremony

Yes, they look like the photo. They're a lot thinner than I thought they'd be. The thickness varies by touch, but they all measure 0.1mm / 4 mils / 4 thousandths of an inch on my caliper.They're not flawless, but you can get some decent size smaller pieces out of them which are flawless, if that's what you want.

I expected 6" X 8" but I was able to trim what I needed out of two irregular pieces and it worked out fine! The thickness and clarity were just fine.

I use mica tiles in a lot of my books and art and these are great. I do prefer the large size which I don't think they are selling right now, but there are nice.

I used this on my microscope to produce different colors within a sample. It works great and is exactly what I needed for my amateur uses! Professionals use something similar which can cost hundreds of dollars!

I was extremely happy with this purchase. The Mica tiles are fairly large, and easy to cut with sharp sizzors. They also seem to be holding up great inside my restored parlor stove.Online sellers were asking $12 per square, but I was able to make my own for the same price total with this kit.I would strongly recommend for anyone using in a similar application.

I'm not a geologist. I don't even play one on tv. I have to therefore take their word that I'm getting mica, which as far as I know, is a rock.I wanted something interesting to add to ATC's, tags etc and found this. Seemed exciting to sandwich bits of the natural world between sheets of rock. Given the name I was expecting something that made me think it came from nature either in texture, colour or character and what I hold in my hands is...cellophane.There are two thicker pieces that hold a faint beige tone with two teeny black spots in it but the rest looks like acetate with a bad vinyl job on it. Picture laying some cling film onto a piece of glass with removing any bubbles or making sure it's laying flat and straight. That is about what it looks like. To say I'm underwhelmed is an understatement.Reading the comments on how this is great for mixed media etc I begin to wonder...why? You can get the same look from a piece of acetate or if you peel it - delaminate in their jargon - then you have cling film. To get the look and feel that the pictures convey, you'd have to stack the entire package together provided they were all the same size - which they aren't - or rely upon alcohol ink to get the colour and semi-translucency you see in the photos. Unfortunately all the photos make the tiles look similar so I wasn't thinking I was going to be getting clear pieces of tile. Now I'm left wondering what to do with this package, which by the way doesn't hold 2 ounces of product. Whomever returned it helped themselves first then along came I with a bright idea and a need for a bargain and voila, a Warehouse Deal is snatched up.This is one of those items that had I viewed this in person in a retail situation, I would have quickly let the idea I had slide out of my brain pan. I have enough things sitting around waiting to be used up lol!
