Troubleshooting
Medium seeping under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is held firmly against the surface. Use a slightly drier applicator (e.g., lightly loaded sponge or brush) or consider using stencil adhesive for a better seal.
Uneven color or texture application.
Apply medium in thin, even layers. Use a dabbing or stippling motion with a sponge or brush rather than a sweeping one. Ensure your applicator is not overloaded.
Stencil material is warped or damaged.
Store the stencil flat and away from extreme temperatures. If minor warping occurs, try placing it under heavy books for a period. Damaged stencils may need replacement.
Difficulty cleaning dried medium.
Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before attempting to clean. Use a soft brush to gently dislodge the dried medium.
