Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is securely taped down. Apply a thin layer of paint or medium. For more advanced users, a light mist of spray adhesive can help seal the edges. Blot excess medium from your brush or sponge before applying.
Stencil creasing or bending during use.
Handle the stencil gently. If applying to a curved surface, use spray adhesive to help it adhere smoothly. Avoid pressing too hard when applying paint or medium.
Difficulty cleaning dried medium from the stencil.
Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to soften the dried material. Use a soft toothbrush or a damp cloth to gently remove residue. Avoid using sharp objects that could scratch the stencil.
Uneven paint application.
Use a dabbing or stippling motion with a stencil brush or sponge rather than a sweeping motion. Ensure you are not overloading your applicator with paint or medium.
