How do I store the stencil to keep it flat?

Troubleshooting

Apply less paint to your applicator and ensure the stencil is held tightly or secured with stencil spray.
Stencil is moving while applying medium
Use a low-tack stencil spray or painter's tape to secure the corners of the stencil to the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, ensure your surface is clean and dry. Position the stencil, apply a light mist of spray adhesive to the back if necessary, and press firmly against the surface. When working with liquid mediums, use a light hand to avoid bleeding under the stencil frame. After use, clean the stencil immediately with warm soapy water. For stubborn or dried mediums like acrylics or pastes, you can use an alcohol rub or a mild solvent. Always dry the stencil flat to prevent warping before storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
