Troubleshooting

Paint bleed-through under the stencil.

Ensure the stencil is applied firmly to the surface. Use less paint on your applicator (roller, brush, sponge). Dab or roll excess paint off your applicator before applying it to the stencil.

Stencil is difficult to remove.

Ensure you are cleaning the stencil immediately after use. If paint has dried on, soak the stencil in warm, soapy water or use a stencil cleaner. Be gentle when peeling it off the surface.

Uneven paint application.

Ensure your paint is not too thick or too thin. Use an appropriate applicator for the paint type and surface. Blot excess paint from your roller or brush before applying.

Difficulty aligning repeating patterns.

Carefully use the registration guide marks provided on the stencil. Practice aligning the marks on a scrap piece of material before applying to your final project.
