It has to be repositionable. That means it stays tacky for awhile so you can remove the stencil without it leaving a reside or peeling off the finish of whatever you are stenciling. You can usually find a couple of options at stores like Michaels as well as one Amazon. Two I like are Stencil Ease Spray Adhesive - amzn.to/3voF2Py and Aleene's repositionable spray adhesive - amzn.to/3peCjqT

You don't have to stain the wood. You can stencil over bare wood or wood that is already finished. But if you want to stain it first, Minwax's oil-penetrating stains work well. You can buy small cans to use for small projects. My favorite medium brown shade is special walnut. Make sure the stain has fully dried before stenciling over it. You may also want to use a polyurethane sealer to seal the stain before stenciling but for small decor items you can probably get away with skipping the sealer.

I've never had tacky stuff left behind on the wood. Make sure you are using repositionable adhesive and try to keep it on the wood for only a few minutes. That should keep it from leaving behind a residue. But if for some reason, there is a bit of residue, try very lightly wiping it with alcohol or an adhesive remover. Just be careful if your wood is finished because it could remove the finish.

When you paint the thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the stencil, it's as though you are just outlining the letters on the top edge, right? You don't want any of the Mod Podge to actually touch the wood that you are eventually going to be stenciling with paint, right?

So I watched several KZbin videos about stenciling, how to avoid the paint leaking under the stencil, etc., but yours was the ONLY one I saw that mentioned using the makeup sponges (which amazingly enough I happened to have on hand!). Oh. My. God. That worked SO well!! I'd experimented on a piece of scrap wood with one of the those little sponge daubers and didn't care for that, but didn't really want to invest in a stenciling brush just yet either. So glad I didn't because the makeup sponges worked amazingly well. Thank you so much for sharing your tricks!

If you use mod podge, just put your stencil in place on the wood and brush a coat of mod podge over the stencil - you want to add the mod podge over the entire design. The mod podge will help seal the edges of the stencil to the surface you are stenciling. And since it is clear, it won't show. Once the mod podge dries, paint your stencil as normal. Then remove the stencil and that's it!

Yes, the one I used is Alene's repositionable spray adhesive and I haven't had problems with it. Make sure any spray adhesive you use is repositionable - meaning the glue stays tacky so you can move the stencil around once you've attached it. Another thing to keep in mind is it can take fresh paint a few weeks to fully cure or harden so I wouldn't use spray adhesive if you are stenciling something that has just been painted.

Hi, you seem to know a lot about plastic stencils? How do you clean them? I can’t get the paint to come off without scrubbing which bends and ruins my stencils. Thanks :)

I used to have the same problem! I found that Goof Off household cleaner is great for cleaning stencils. Just apply, scrub very lightly, and rinse. It makes it so much easier.

@@LovelyEtc oh wow. Never heard of that. I’ll pick some up and give it a try. Thanks so much. I can only see the goof off household heavy duty remover at my local Canadian tire so I’ll get that and try it. Hopefully that’s the one you mean.
