I'll post pics of my stencils soon and see what you guys think.

First off - May I suggest that using double-sided tape ended up not working out for me. not that it caused problems (it didn't) but to be quite honest it didn't end up doing very much in terms of holding the plates together. I would recommend using just velcro. I will look at the brand name of velcro I used tomorrow when I get into the office, but basically you just want a brand that claims "industrial strength". The velcro has held up very well for me. I ended up attaching the velcro, using a heat gun (hairdryer will work too) to heat up the glue very quickly and let it set for 24hrs. You can find velcro most hardware stores - i bought mine at a marine store that sells boating accessories.
i'll get back to you on the brand and good luck!
