Troubleshooting
Ink or paint bleeding under the stencil.
Ensure the stencil is flat against the surface. Use a minimal amount of medium. For sprays, hold the can further away. For inks and paints, consider using a stencil brush or roller with light pressure.
Uneven pattern application.
Make sure the surface is dry before applying mediums. Ensure even pressure is applied when dabbing or rolling mediums. Check that the stencil is clean from dried medium, which can cause high spots.
Stencil is difficult to clean.
Soak the stencil in warm, soapy water for a few minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away dried medium. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
