Troubleshooting
Ink or paint bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is pressed firmly against the surface. Use a light touch with blending tools or apply spray mediums from a slight distance. For thicker mediums, ensure an even spread and scrape off excess before lifting.
Medium getting stuck in stencil details
Clean the stencil immediately after use with warm water and a soft brush. Ensure all crevices are clear before drying and storing.
Stencil warping or bending
Avoid leaving the stencil in direct sunlight or extreme heat. Store stencils flat and handle them with care. If slight warping occurs, try gently pressing it flat under heavy books for a period.
