How to Use Hampshire Sheen Stencils

Using stencils is tremendously fun and very rewarding. Getting to grips with them is easy with our Level 1 sets, as they peel off easily and are applied just as quickly. To help you further, here are some things to consider:

Take Your Time: Although the stencils peel on and off quickly if they stick to themselves, it is tricky to prise them apart without stretching or tearing them. Likewise, avoid applying too much color in one go. Multiple light coats are preferable to one heavy one. This helps prevent bleeding beneath the stencil and encourages a gradual build-up of color.

Surface Choice: Stencils work best with plain, tight-grained woods like maple, sycamore, and beech. Their close-grain structure can be sanded very smoothly with little chance of your color bleeding into the grain beneath the vinyl. You can also use these stencils on hard, smooth surfaces such as metal, glass, paint, etc.

Safety: Take precautions to look after your skin, lungs, and eyes using personal protection equipment appropriate for the job.
