Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or dry

Add a small amount of water to the paint and mix thoroughly. Ensure paint tubes are sealed when not in use to prevent drying.

Stencils are difficult to clean

Wipe stencils with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately after use. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Rollers are not applying paint evenly

Ensure the roller is evenly coated with paint. Apply gentle, consistent pressure when rolling. Clean the roller thoroughly after each use.

Child is struggling with stencils

Demonstrate how to hold the stencil steady while painting around it. For very young children, you may need to help hold the stencil in place.
