Troubleshooting
Ink or paint bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is firmly pressed against the surface. For smoother surfaces, consider using temporary spray adhesive or stencil repositioning spray to secure it. Blot excess medium from your application tool before applying.
Uneven color application
Use a light touch with your sponge or brush. Apply medium in thin, even layers rather than one heavy coat. Ensure your application tool is not overloaded with ink or paint.
Stencil difficult to clean
Clean the stencil as soon as possible after use. If medium has dried, soak briefly in warm, soapy water and use a soft brush to gently remove residue. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
