Troubleshooting
Uneven ink/paint application
Ensure the stencil is flat against your surface. Use a blending tool or foam dauber for even pressure. Clean the stencil thoroughly between uses.
Residue left on projects
Wipe the stencil clean with a damp cloth immediately after use. If using thick mediums, ensure they are fully dried before removal. Test on scrap paper first.
Stencil bending or creasing
Store the stencil flat in a protective case or binder. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn mediums
Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes. Use a soft toothbrush or crafting cleaning solution for tougher residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
