I vaguely remember reading somewhere about doing stencils using higher quality print paper and a spray can of light adhesive glue. Print the paper, cut out the images, spray the back with light adhesive and let it sit to get tacky, then apply to the surface. From what I remember reading, the light adhesive should seal well enough, but still be able to peel off cleanly. I’ll have to find that page again, but it could be a really effective way of getting clean lines. |

Couldn't find the old article I read years back, but I found another site that mentions using spray adhesives. "repositional spray adhesive". https://www.lovelyetc.com/how-to-stencil-anything-3-secrets-to-perfect-results-every-time/ Her tips are pretty good. Though I never used a make-up brush to paint my stencil colours. Next time I do stenciling I'm going to try that! |

Make sure you buy new make-up brushes. You don't want to ruin the ones you use every morning. ;) |

Hence my approach of sticking everything on the surface first, then cutting the shapes out. For this, spray adhesive might work. It would certainly make cutting the paper easier. Cutting through paper, protective vinyl and a film of adhesive for 2 to 3 hours straight became really painful towards the end. --- Quote from: opt2not on December 04, 2018, 12:56:43 am ---Couldn't find the old article I read years back, but I found another site that mentions using spray adhesives.

I'll try the spray adhesive if I can hunt down some similar stuff over here. The make-up brush... I think using this probably takes too much patience, especially if doing larger stencils. |
