How can I achieve sharp edges with the stencil?

Troubleshooting
Paint bleed-through under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is securely adhered to the surface with tape or adhesive. Use a minimal amount of paint on your brush or roller and apply it with a dabbing or light brushing motion. For porous surfaces, consider applying a base coat and allowing it to dry completely before stenciling.
Stencil is difficult to clean.
Clean the stencil immediately after use with soap and warm water. For dried paint, a soft brush or sponge can help loosen it. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the stencil material.
Uneven pattern application.
Ensure consistent pressure and paint application. Practice on a scrap surface first to get a feel for the paint coverage and technique. Check that the stencil is lying flat and not shifting during application.
