Medium bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is securely taped down. Apply a thin layer of medium. For added protection, consider using a temporary spray adhesive or a stencil spray designed for adhesion.

Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to loosen dried medium. Use a soft toothbrush or cotton swab to gently clean the detailed sections.
