The stencils I used for Andrews Firepower were purchased from Classic Arcades. While i was happy with the art itself, the adhesive was way too strong for this application.

Sounds like Gav knows what its all about at Flipper Rescue, regarding the correct 'low tack' vinyl etc. Hopefully he can help out.

Otherwise im fairly sure http://pinballpal.com/products/stencil/ supply good quality stencils. Maybe send them an email about an FP set.

Here are a few snaps of the cabinet for Andrews Firepower.

My my... that FP came up VERY nice!!!

OK.. stencils yes... Now heres a story for you.

I get a certain type of semi absorbant vinyl for these.. ive tried lots, but this type seems to work best, plus its a lower tac and easier to use.
I normally drop my boy off to school and then walk into the vinyl suppliers as its just up the road.
I did just this the other week.. walked in and things didnt look quite right... shouted out and some random guy came up and asked what i wanted.. looking round, its kinda dark and all the computers are unplugged with tags on as is the kettle, tea cups and everything else.
Still being naive i ask to buy some vinyl... guy laughs at me...
"im the receiver mate.... this company went bust 2 weeks back".

So im out of a supplier.. but not for long as i think ive found the same stuff elsewhere.
Ill take a note of who wants what and i should have vinyl next week
