FAQs
Can I use these stencils on fabric?
While primarily designed for walls, floors, and furniture, they can be used on fabric with appropriate fabric paints and careful application. Ensure the fabric is taut and pre-washed.
What kind of paint should I use?
Most types of paint can be used, including emulsion, acrylics, chalk paint, and spray paints. Choose a paint suitable for your surface type (e.g., floor paint for floors).
How many times can I reuse the stencil?
The stencils are designed for multiple uses. With proper care and cleaning, you can expect to use them many times for various projects.
Can I cut the stencil to fit smaller areas?
Yes, you can cut the stencil using sharp scissors or a craft knife to fit smaller or more intricate areas. The pack of two is ideal for this purpose.
What is the size of the 'Jannah 4" (100mm) Multi 6-Tile' stencil?
The 'Jannah' stencil pattern is designed to replicate 6 individual tiles, each approximately 4 inches (100mm) in size within the overall stencil layout.
Do I need to seal the stencilled area?
It is recommended to seal the stencilled area, especially for high-traffic surfaces like floors or areas prone to moisture, using a suitable clear sealant or varnish for durability.
Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is securely taped down with no gaps. Use light coats of paint rather than heavy application. A mist coat of your base wall color applied before the stencil color can help seal edges.
Stencil not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Try using a spray adhesive specifically designed for stencilling or ensure your masking tape has adequate tack without damaging the surface.
Uneven paint coverage
Use a dabbing or stippling motion with a stencil brush, or a light roller with minimal paint. Avoid overloading your applicator. Apply paint in thin, even layers.
Difficulty aligning stencil for repeat patterns
Use the registration marks (if provided) or the semi-transparent nature of the stencil to align with the previous section. Take your time and step back to check alignment periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be stencilled is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. Secure the stencil firmly in place using low-tack masking tape or spray adhesive, ensuring edges are sealed to prevent paint bleed. Apply paint using a stencil brush, roller, or spray paint, using light coats. Remove the stencil carefully while the paint is still slightly damp to achieve crisp lines. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before applying a top coat or sealant if desired.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on a variety of prepared surfaces including painted walls, sealed floors, wood, plaster, and some plastics. Not recommended for highly textured or uneven surfaces without appropriate preparation.
Care: After each use, wash the stencil immediately with warm soapy water. Gently scrub with a soft brush if necessary to remove dried paint. Rinse thoroughly and allow the stencil to air dry completely before storing flat or rolled loosely. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the plastic.
