3)
Spray back of stencil with repositionable stencil adhesive
spray. Let spray dry for one minute before sticking to
surface.
4)
Place painters tape along outside edges of stencil to
prevent paste from going onto unwanted areas. You are
now ready to apply the paste.
5)
Using the 1 ½" putty knife, scoop some paste
out of the jar (see step 1). Depending on the size of
the stencil pattern, you may want to transfer the paste
to the 3" or 6" blade. The larger the design
of the stencil, the larger the putty knife you will need.
6)
Spread paste smoothly over design, holding tool
at slight angle (45 degrees) over stencil. Pull in several
directions to level paste over pattern. For a thinner
raised pattern, scrape paste off to level of stencil.
For a thicker raised edge, leave 1/32" to 1/16"
of paste on top of the stencil.
7)
Slowly lift stencil off surface being decorated. If you
make a mistake you can easily scrape the paste off of
smooth surfaces immediately with putty knife and try again.
Allow paste to dry 2-3 hours if you choose to paint over
the design. Paste will dry completely overnight. |
