I've seen a lot of products out there, e.g. from Krylon.
Is that a decent choice, or is there a better solution that (ai broken) Google search isn't showing me? Anything to recommend from experience?
Thinking about cutting stencils, since my 5W laser isn't great for much else. Gotta get my money's worth.
Thanks
Edit: I guess it'd also be good to know of there area issues with a tack spray and existing finishes I should be aware of...
Most of the lives I'm seeing claim "low tack" but what does that mean in our context of finishing enclosures ourselves, or just other materials in general...
Tack spray is ok until it's time to take it off. I use painters tape.

I'm used some one time. I had to sand the paper stencil off.

I cut frisket film cut with an exacto knife to make stencils. Low tack made for use on paper. To prevent edge bleed undef the stencil i usually sprayed a clearcoat which would bleed first and seal the edges then spray the stencil color.
Other times i'd apply the stencil and first spray a coat of the same paint the stencil is apllied to then spray the stencil color. Seals the stencil edges. I was using mostly Golden Artists Acrylics through an airbrush.

Oh nice. I can't believe I never ran into that in design school...
In the interim I bought some paper-back vinyl transfer tape, but this could be interesting to try. Nice that it's in sheets, so I could try cutting it first then applying it. Wouldn't need to worry about the laser having to cut through the tape adhesive (current obstacle) without hurting the finish below.
