Product Information
Full details
The DecoArt Peace Signs Border Stencil (AS104-K) is designed for DIY enthusiasts, crafters, and home decorators looking to add a retro or thematic aesthetic to their projects. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of registration marks that allow for perfectly aligned, seamless repeating patterns on long surfaces. While it is highly versatile and durable, users should note that they must provide their own adhesive or painter's tape to keep the stencil stationary during application.

FAQs
Can I use this on glass?
Yes, the stencil is compatible with glass surfaces. Use glass-specific paint and secure with tape to avoid slipping.
How do I prevent paint buildup?
Clean the stencil immediately after each use with a brush cleaner or warm soapy water.
Does this stencil include adhesive?
No, this stencil does not have a sticky back. We recommend using a spray adhesive or painter's tape.
Is it safe for fabric projects?
Yes, it works well on fabric and curtains when using appropriate fabric paints.
What is the best way to apply the paint?
For best results, use a stencil brush with a dabbing (stippling) motion to ensure paint does not seep under the edges.
Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the stencil edges
Use less paint on your applicator and ensure the stencil is held firmly against the surface using adhesive spray or tape.
Difficulty aligning the repeat pattern
Align the registration marks on the stencil with the previously painted design segment before securing it for the next section.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your surface is clean and dry. Secure the stencil using low-tack painter's tape or a temporary repositionable adhesive spray to prevent movement. Apply your paint sparingly using a stippling motion with a stencil brush or a light rolling motion. After completing your design, immediately clean the stencil with DecoMagic Brush Cleaner or mild soap and water to prevent paint buildup in the delicate cut-outs. Store the stencil flat to maintain its shape over time.
