Mylar can be cleaned with most solvents and it can be reused many times for a stencil that will last for years.
I ve experimented with this too and it turns out you can do even stencils for 0 5mm pitch parts.
Laser cut mylar stencils.
The finest pitch we can handle is approximately 0 5 mm and we strongly recommend that fine pitch stencils be cut from the 3 mil mylar.
The stencils are just a piece of thin plastic with a bunch of holes cut in it.
When laser cutting stencils i use a backer board and a dash of repositionable spray adhesive.
The adhesive will prevent the detached mylar pieces from being blown around during the cutting process.
