Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is firmly pressed against the surface. Use less paint on your brush or spray can, and apply in thin layers. Consider using temporary stencil adhesive for a more secure fit.
Stencil edges are not crisp.
Confirm the stencil is clean and free of dried paint. Ensure you are using the appropriate application technique for the medium (e.g., dabbing with paint, not brushing). Re-apply firmly.
Stencil material feels sticky or gummy.
This may indicate residue from a specific medium. Clean thoroughly with appropriate cleaner for the medium used, or mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before next use.
