Product Information

Full details

The Gelli Arts Ladder Stencil is designed for artists and crafters working with 8" x 10" Gel Printing Plates. Its primary benefit is adding bold linear structure, texture, and depth to larger gel prints, ideal for projects like wall art, scrapbooking, and mixed media. A minor consideration is its specific sizing, which perfectly matches the 8" x 10" plate but may require adjustment for other surfaces. Key features include its original ladder design, reusability, and suitability for large-scale applications.

Troubleshooting

Uneven paint/ink transfer through stencil

Ensure the stencil lies flat against the surface. Apply paint/ink evenly with a brayer or brush, avoiding excess product that can seep underneath.

Stencil material shows signs of wear

Clean the stencil gently with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials. Store flat when dry to prevent damage.

Pattern is not as crisp as desired

Make sure the gel plate surface is clean and smooth. Apply a thin, even layer of paint/ink. Press the paper firmly and evenly onto the inked plate through the stencil.
