I was getting ready to try my hand and stenciling a pattern on a piece of flea market furniture I was using to experiment with - something I wouldn't mind "ruining" if it went badly. So I watched several KZitem 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!

I started carved and Dremeling thinking I'd fill the letters with colored epoxy. It's a beast to get clean lines. I have to hunt down some 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch stencils, tracing paper to make a guide on letter placement, them follow your method and redo the letters.

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

Thanks! If there is glue residue on your sign, I would let the paint fully dry for several days first and then test goo gone in a small section to make sure it doesn't disturb the paint. Goo gone works great for removing any adhesive from the stencil too. And make sure the spray adhesive you use is repositionable because it shouldn't leave much residue on the sign.

Oh no! Hopefully the toothpick fixes it up well! In the future, another trick you can try if you are stenciling a painted surface is to paint over the stencil with the same paint color as your base, let it dry, and then paint your actual stencil color. It does the same thing as the mod podge. I hope that helps for next time!

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.

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!

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.

You can definitely add a second stencil. Just do your first stencil and make sure the paint has fully dried. You can do the spray again, but I would wait a few days in between to give the first design time to cure. (It takes time for the paint to fully harden even when it is dry to the touch). Or you could just try to arrange it so the adhesive is not sticking directly to what you just painted. Good luck!
