We recommend to stencil this design with a dense foam roller and stencil brushes. For expert stenciling tips, please watch our How-to stencil videos! You'll find them extremely helpful for your stenciling project.
Although our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive, you may use it if you would like to minimize paint bleed (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make
sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil,
and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step
will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need
to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Note: you will still
need to hold the stencil in place with a few pieces of blue painters
tape! Adhesive by itself is not enough to hold the stencil on the wall. Clean-up tip:
Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue.
Please know that you can never fully clean off the adhesive from the
stencil completely. For that reason, we prefer taping the stencil to the
wall with pieces of blue tape instead of spray adhesives.
Stenciling
on rough or textured walls may contribute to increased paint bleed. For
more information on stenciling on textured walls, see our
F.A.Q. section.
About seepage and imperfections:
Even with a proper loaded roller and correct technique you might get
some minor paint seepage here and there. In most cases it's not
noticeable, especially from a couple of feet away and it can be easily
touched up with a small brush. Don't forget that you're creating a
"hand-painted wall finish". A few imperfections and some paint seepage
here and there are natural and inevitable for this type of work. To
avoid seepage, use less paint on your roller and brush and always blot
off the excess paint onto a paper towel. All of
our stencils
are made of thick, sturdy but flexible 12 mil clear plastic, reusable,
easy to clean and stenciler-friendly! In our 20+ years of professional
stenciling this material has proven to be far superior than any other
material we used, including the industry standard 8 mil mylar.
We
are certain you'll notice the difference and will love working with it,
just like all the folks who already bought our stencils.
Our stencils are made to last and with proper care and storage will serve you for long time.
