About
Built by people who
actually use them.
StickNCoat exists because Cerakote applicators were tired of $5 craft-store stencils failing under bake cycles. So we built the stencils we wished existed.
The problem
Stencils were always the weak link.
Walk into any Cerakote shop and you'll see the same problem on the bench: hours of prep, premium coatings, and a $5 vinyl stencil from a craft store that was never engineered to survive a bake.
The adhesive softens in the oven. Edges curl. The pattern shifts a sixteenth of an inch. By the time you peel it off a barrel, the registration is junk and you're explaining to a customer why their rifle looks off.
We started StickNCoat to fix the part of the build that nobody else cared about.
The spec
Engineered for the oven.
Every sheet is precision-cut from heat-rated vinyl with a low-tack, residue-free adhesive. Sized for one perfect build instead of three mediocre ones.
Every sheet carries a 200°F temperature rating — up to that line it pulls clean, no shift, no lift, no residue. Past it, the adhesive can start to transfer onto the part, so that's the number we stand behind.

Built for
Cerakote pros. Custom builders. Hunters who do their own work.
If you've ever pulled a stencil off a freshly cured barrel and the registration was off, you're our customer.
Shops use our bundles for full long-gun builds. Solo builders pick singles for one-off projects. Hunters customize their own rifles and bows.
We make stencils for people who care more about the build than the sticker price.
Behind the brand
How this started.
StickNCoat began as a side gig — one-off custom stencils for the best Duracoat shop in the United States. Joel, the owner of Carnimore, is my dad. He kept getting customers walking in with bigger and bigger ideas, and he needed someone to translate those ideas into patterns that could actually survive the bake.
That was the brief: bring his customers' wildest projects to life. We did. Then his network started asking where the stencils came from.
StickNCoat is what came out of that. Widely-used stencils for shops who care about the finish — and custom commissions for builders chasing something nobody else has done yet.
