Tips:
- Paste
can be tinted with a pure pigment tint before stenciling.
Follow manufacturer's instructions and do not over-dilute
as it will thin the paste to a consistency that will
"sag" on the wall. If you want to glaze over
the dimensional design, allow paste to cure at least
24 hours before top coating.
-
Clean stencil thoroughly when finished stenciling, and
do not allow paste to cure onto it. If the paste does
harden, soak stencil in warm water for several minutes
and paste will soften and can be cleaned. Rinse and
scrape off all paste on edges of putty knives and other
tools used. Store stencil flat.

-
Wipe paste off stencil with a clean damp sponge between
every repeat. Do not let the paste dry completely on
stencil.
- Use
a soft lead pencil for repeat position marks and a good
quality eraser for removing them later.
- PRACTICE.
Take some time to practice your technique. No matter
what your experience level, the job will be much easier.
