Stenciling Tip No. 2

This is a simple one but will improve the look of your finished stencil project. 

• Remove your stencil before your paint dries

After you have painted two very light coats of paint one straight after the other, remove your stencil straight away. This will give a nice clean edge to your stencil and ensure no sneaky excess paint creeps under your stencil while it dries. It also has the added bonus of the stencil coming away from your piece easily and not getting accidentally glued onto your piece by paint.
