FAQs
Can I use this stencil with texture paste?

Is this stencil heat resistant?
It is made of standard high-quality stencil material, but it is not intended for use with high-heat tools like heat guns directly on the stencil.
Can it be used on curved surfaces?
While best on flat surfaces, the flexible nature of the material allows for some application on gentle curves with careful handling.
What is the best way to store the stencil?
Store it flat in a protective sleeve or hung by a clip to maintain the shape of the delicate floral pattern.
Is this product reusable?
Yes, with proper cleaning and gentle handling, the stencil is designed for repeated use across many projects.
Troubleshooting
Paint or medium bleeding under the stencil edge
Use less medium on your tool and ensure the stencil is pressed firmly against the surface with low-tack tape.
Stencil shifting during application
Apply a light coat of repositionable spray adhesive to the back of the stencil before laying it down.
Dried paint stuck in intricate pattern lines
Soak the stencil briefly in warm soapy water and use a soft toothbrush to gently clear the crevices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your stencil, place it on your desired substrate and use low-tack painter's tape to secure the corners. If you are using a wet medium like paste, use a palette knife to pull the medium across the stencil in one smooth motion rather than pushing it, which prevents bleeding. For cleaning, rinse the stencil immediately after use with warm, soapy water. If you used permanent inks or dried paints, a gentle scrub with a soft-bristled brush will help remove residue from the fine lines. Store the stencil flat in a dry, cool place to prevent warping.
