DESCRIPTION
GerberMask Yellow Ultra has been developed as a high contrast stencil for painted graphics.
GerberMask Yellow Ultra is a 4-mil, yellow film with a low-tack adhesive system for use as a
stencil mask on smooth, flat surfaces. GerberMask Yellow Ultra can be easily identified by the
yellow face film.
INTENDED APPLICATIONS
GerberMask Yellow Ultra has been designed for use as stencil mask on smooth, flat surfaces.
The film can be hand or spray-painted. The low-tack adhesive removes easily from substrates
like OEM factory paint surfaces.
Recommended Substrates: flexible vinyl, glass, polycarbonate, and stainless steel.
Minimum Application Surface Temperature: 40°F
Maximum Exposure Temperature: Withstands short bake cycles up to 200°F (94°C)
PERFORMANCE LIFE (UNPRINTED)
GerberMask Yellow Ultra is not a printable material and is only intended for short-term
applications during painting.
SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE
GerberMask Yellow Ultra can be stored for one year after purchase. Film should be stored
vertically using original packaging material and kept in a clean area free from excessive
moisture and direct sunlight. Maintain temperature 65°F to 75°F (23°C) and 50%  5% RH. Cut
graphics can be stored flat or wound on a minimum 3-inch diameter core tube with cut-side
facing out. If stored flat, do not place heavy objects on top or placed cut graphics on an irregular
surface.

CUTTING
GerberMask Yellow Ultra can be cut on any 15-inch EDGE-compatible sprocketed plotter.
Plotters should be set to 50% speed. A 45° SuperSharp blade is recommended.
For optimal results, a test cut should be performed with as little weight as possible and gradually
increased until the vinyl layer is completely cut and the liner is lightly scored. Using too much
weight or attempting to cut the film too fast will cause it to bind in your plotter.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Be sure that the surface that you are applying GerberMask Yellow Ultra to is clean, dry and free
of any solvents or petrochemicals.
APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
1. Cut the GerberMask then weed as a stencil.
2. Transfer the stencil onto the sign surface using low tack application tape.
3. Apply the paint within the stencil by hand, airbrush or spray paint. Not for use with
lacquer based paints.
4. Remove the mask when the paint is just dry to the touch. Leave the mask on less than
48 hours. Leaving on longer than necessary could make it difficult to remove.
