Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding under the stencil edges
Ensure the stencil is firmly secured to the surface. Use less medium on your application tool (e.g., sponge, dauber) and apply in light layers. Consider using temporary spray adhesive or stencil paste for better adhesion.
Stains or residue left on the stencil after cleaning
Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before gentle scrubbing. Ensure all coloring agents are removed before drying completely.
Difficulty in achieving crisp design details
Verify the stencil is flat and not warped. Use a dense sponge or brush for application, tapping or dabbing rather than spreading the medium aggressively.
