Troubleshooting
Ink or paint bleeding under the stencil.
Ensure your media is not too wet or applied too heavily. For sprays, use a light mist. For paints and inks, use a dabbing or sponging motion rather than brushing. Consider using a temporary adhesive spray or stencil spray for a better seal.
Stencil is difficult to clean.
Clean the stencil immediately after use. For dried media, soak in warm water for a few minutes before gently scrubbing with a soft brush and mild soap.
Uneven application of media.
Ensure you are using consistent pressure when applying media. Use a blending tool or sponge for even coverage with inks and paints. For pastes, use a palette knife or spreader.
