8ft Aermotor A802 Windmill Tail Vane Logo Layout for Stencil, Conway Valley Inds

Description

Perhaps one of the most rare, but least desirable, Aermotor Windmills are one of those made by Valley Industries of Conway, AR. These famous new style 802 models were made in limited quantities given windmills were not in high demand in the 1960's, and those that were sold were so grossly flawed in design that few lasted long at all. The model 802 is still considered, even in today's overly tolerant culture, an inferior mill to the 702 design and it's specifications.
This listing is for a 8ft "Conway" Aermotor Windmill vane stencil layout. This can be used for your 802 restoration. It includes 2- 48" X 36" sheets as shown in our lead picture. The color photo is shown strictly as a reference for the green color used by that company.

Each stencil layout is reproduced from either actual tail vanes or published manufacturer data. Depending on specifics for your windmill each stencil layout is reproduced to scale on 48" X 36"  or 36" X 24" paper, shipped rolled in a protective tube via
Fed Ex SmartPost
. Printing is black & white. Each is easily used by simply cutting out the logo images with an Exacto knife and securing the stencil layout in place with masking tape. The digital printing enlargement process used does not produce 100% crisp images so in some cases you'll need to use common sense when cutting out a letter. Trace the images onto your vane and you're ready to paint an exact replica of the factory designed logo.
Each is watermarked with a large red signature to stop unauthorized reproduction. While the watermark is very obvious it will not interfere with the stencils use. The watermark is not shown in the listing picture. If you have concerns please contact us before bidding.
If you're not a "project guy" you may want to consider alternatives such as the logo'd vanes we sell in our ebay store starting at 9.99.
Having used our layouts several times for projects at our windmill park we offer these helpful tips for use.
1. Once ready to begin your project unroll the layout face down on a table or other large flat surface. Place a weighted object like a drinking glass at each corner and allow the layout to sit overnight. This will keep the layout from rolling up on you as you start to cut out letters.
2.Use carbon paper to trace the images to your vane or a sharp Exacto knife to cut out your letters if you want to.
3. We recommend using a large sheet of cardboard under the layout once you begin to cut out letters. This will protect your table from being cut and provides a good work surface that you can tape your layout to so it does not move ore roll up on you.
4. Once you have letters cut out you can trim your stencil layout to segments more easily positioned on your tail vane.
5. If your stencil layout wants to roll up, or if you plan to wait a day or two to trace it to your vane, we suggest you keep it flattened out with cardboard and a few books for weight as moisture in the air will make it roll at the freshly cut letter edges.
6. Position your stencil layout segments on your vane with masking tape.
7. Use a Sharpie Ultra Fine Point marker to trace the outlines of your stencil layout to your vane. Remove your stencil layout from your vane before you begin to fill in the letters with paint.
8. Use a water base enamel paint (we prefer satin finish) available at Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot along with small face craft & hobby paint brushes.
