Great to see you Lena. Thanks for the great information today. I have some pots that I want to stencil soon. This past week I washed them in vinegar water and I let them dry as I knew this helpful video was coming. All these tips are wonderful and thanks for sharing.🪴🪴

This video was very instructional and helpful. I love your style Ms. Lena. By the way, I preferred the high gloss finish.

Great video! Is the varnish also good as a protectant for weather? I want my pots to be outside all year round but wonder if it protective against sun, rain, snow, wind, etc. Is it a big deal what kind of brushes you use for the sealant, paint and varnish? And what kind of primer can you use over the sealant before painting? I want a few pots to be completely one colour (for example blue). My last question: is one layer of sealant and varnish enough? Thank you! :)

Thank you so much!! We recommend a polyurethane varnish for outdoor projects. The DecoArt DuraClear varnish that Lena used on this project has polyurethane in it, and it is what we use for outdoors. We definitely think the brush choice is important. For varnish application tips, watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmm0hKyFaraGgpI For stencil brush tips, watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raWWg3quppKoqq8 We do not use a primer, just the sealer. We use DecoArt MultiPurpose Sealer. One layer of sealer and varnish is what we typically do. :)

@@StudioR12Stencils thank you for your reply! So just to make sure: if you want to paint the whole pot one color, you just do it over the sealer without primer? :)

Do you apply the sealer before you paint a solid color on your pot and then again over it before you stencil and then put a final coat or sealer on after that? I just painted a few terracotta pots a solid color now I want to try stencil but I’m not sure what to do.. Thanks!!

@StudioR12Stencils 6 ай бұрын

We have found that sealing the outside and the inside of terracotta pots works very well. You can paint after you seal and then use a multipurpose sealer again for the final sealing when you're finished painting.

@christinewalker5458 Ай бұрын

I thought it had to be a different kind of sealer for inside as to not kill your plants?

U can keep painting is it not wet?

Hey Karen! Which part of the video are you referencing?

@karenthompson8471 4 ай бұрын

@StudioR12Stencils I see u painting and then go on to next one near it and paint. So I was wondering u don't need to let it dry before doing another section. Sorry if I didn't explain it good lol

@SheilaTegen 9 ай бұрын

I had heard that you needed to use a marine grade sealer for clay pots. Is that not true? The stenciled pots are beautiful!

@StudioR12Stencils 9 ай бұрын

We have never heard this. We've used the DecoArt MultiPurpose Sealer before painting and polyurethane varnish after painting and have had no issues. We have several pots that we've painted over the years that are holding up lovely!!

Is there a stencil material other than mylar that is easier to maneuver to adhere to the pot?

@StudioR12Stencils 9 ай бұрын

If the pot has angled sides, you'll likely run into issues regardless the material of the stencil. Even with a vinyl stencil, you'll get some creasing along the angle. We recommend using parts of stencils like Lena did here and moving it along. Or using small stencils. If you use smaller stencils, you may have less issues with the angle of the pot.

What paint are you using?

@StudioR12Stencils 9 ай бұрын

We use house paint from Sherwin Williams. We paint a lot and buy in bulk. If you want to send us an email, I can send you a photo of exactly what we get. kari.G@studior12.com We often use DecoArt paint as well.
