  • Always wash after use before the paint can dry into mesh, wash both sides with soft spunge. Dry completely before re-use.
  • Works best on smooth surfaces, uneven surfaces will cause bleeding underneath stencil.
  • Use acrylic thickner if paint is too runny (craft / pva / some fabric paints).
  • Multiple prints in one setting on porous surfaces (as long as paint remains wet).
  • Non-Porous surfaces may smudge easily, only one print at a time.
  • Not suitable for texture paste build up.
