How can I create layered effects with this stencil?
Apply one layer of medium, let it dry partially or fully, then reposition the stencil and apply another layer of the same or a different medium for depth and complexity.
Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is flat against the surface. Use a minimal amount of medium or a spray adhesive to temporarily adhere the stencil. Blot excess medium from your applicator before applying to the stencil.
Uneven application of paint or ink.
Use a stencil brush, brayer, or palette knife with even pressure. Wipe off excess medium from your applicator frequently. Ensure the stencil is not lifted during application.
Stencil is difficult to clean.
Clean immediately after use. For stubborn dried media, soak briefly in warm water or use a dedicated stencil cleaner. A soft brush can help dislodge residue from intricate areas.
