need help/advice: I stenciled some beautiful things using glass paints but I can’t get the gooey adhesive (that I sprayed onto the back of the stencils to hold them on while painting) off the glass without messing up my paint!
Hi Jeanie,
We have several suggestions that you may want to test in a small area so that it doesn’t damage your project. Glass cleaner may help while not removing the paint. Also, an adhesive remover like Goo Gone could assist in removing the gooey adhesive. We’d recommend using a cotton swab so that you can careful maneuver it around the design. We hope this helps.
Hi Phillius,
I am on the same boat! Cutting Edge Stencils offers so many cute and wonderful ideas! The possibilities with the stencils are endless! Thank you for commenting :)
I just stenciled my shower door after being inspired by Diane’s blog. I was wondering if I should cover the stenciling up with a coat of clear or glaze to seal it. It is a hard endurance latex enamel and I am concerned it will peel off if I wipe it. Any suggestions or comments. This is my first stencil job and it came out very nice. I love it.
Hi redteapot!
Thank you for commenting :) We are happy that you were inspired by Diane’s blog!
Unfortunately we are not familiar with the hard endurance latex enamel and don’t really know about it’s adhesive qualities. The same would go for a clear coat. It would probably be a good idea as long as the clear coat says it can stick to glass and glossy surfaces. Puts a layer of protection over the artwork.
What you can do is visit your local hardware store and see if they recommend a specific brand or a clear coat that they know works on glass and glossy surfaces.
I hope this helps! Have a lovely weekend :)
