Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the stencil edges
Ensure the stencil is securely adhered. Use a dry-brush technique (wiping excess paint off the brush before applying) or a spray adhesive for better adhesion. Apply paint in thin layers.
Design not appearing clearly
Check that the paint coverage is even. Ensure no areas were missed. For textured surfaces, use a thicker paint consistency or a stencil product designed for texture.
Stencil is difficult to remove
If using spray adhesive, ensure it's designed for temporary use and apply sparingly. Soak the edges gently with warm water if paint has dried onto the surface.
Creases in the stencil material
Smooth the stencil out as much as possible before use. For minor creases, they may not significantly impact the final design. Avoid folding tightly during storage.
