Facts about Stenciling | How to Stencil |
![]() | What are modular system stencils?Modular system stencils have a series of cutout 'registration marks' which help you to position the stencil in the right place, over and over again. This means you can achieve perfectly aligned all-over patterens on almost any surface, easily. You have total creative freedom to use the stencils as single stand-alone motifs, or borders, or continuous lengths, or even as partial texture mask-off areas. What surfaces can stencils be used on?Stencils can be used on any type of surface, depending upon the media (paint, dye) you are using. Paper and fabric are the most common uses. However, you can use stencils for walls, furniture, or even glass surfaces. While most applications will be flat surfaces, most stencils are bendable so they can fit around curved surfaces also. So experiment and be creative! Why would I use a stencil?Stencils are normally used to apply a design to a plain surface. By using a stencil, you can achieve perfectly aligned all-over patterens on almost any surface, easily. Sometimes you want to raise the surface, so applying a layer of paint gives a more textured, dementional surface. What are stencils made of?Stewart Gill Modular Stencils are made from laser-cut Mylar plastic which allows for intricate detailed images. The plastic is longlasting for repeated usage. Because it is flexible plastic, the stencils can make a bendable fit around curved surfaces. How do I clean my stencils?Stewart Gill recommends placing the used stencil in a flat tray and soak in warm water to remove paint. For fast and easy cleaning, you can use Staz-On All-Purpose Cleaner. This allows you to quickly clean the stencil so you can reuse it on your project over and over again, without fear of smearing or bleeding colors. |
