Stenciling Question And Answer
I need to buy stencils for my business (stenciling t-shirts and other items), I want fairly large stencils that are more like silhouettes and have less detail. What is the best website to find these? I need lots of selection and the prices need to be reasonable. Thanks for your help!
I put two coats on , and some of the blue is still lightly showing through in some places. Should I do a third coat? or will the neutral paint colour I choose cover it as well. I am worried that 5 coats of paint will be a little much between the primer and the colour
I used Kiltz as the primer/blocker.

I know about bridging, etc.... Am wondering which material to use for the stencil, and any related tips!
I have a stencil that I made and I need to spray paint it onto a backpack. What is the most effective way to keep the stencil down? The stencil has 3 different parts. I don't want to use spray adhesive because it's too hard to get it to come off. Tape won't work because there's a lot of little details and when I spray it, that part of the stencil blows up and the paint ends up going under the stencil. What can I do?
I bought some second hand furniture for my daughter's room and to liven it up I would like to stencil some designs on it. I've never done anything like this before - can anyone offer any tips about how to do this, and also guide me to a good location to buy stencils/paints?

In my daughter's room we are going to use green and blue paints.
We are also going to stencil with a design shaped like squares (not solid) they can be made to look like a chain. How would you use these paints in this room and where and how on the walls would you use the stenciling?
I want to do the stenciling myself. Want a border design. Bears, half moon stars, unisex designs
Recently moved to new home and the bathroom has a border that was stencil painted. I would like to remove this and use another color scheme in that room. The walls are wood stained and I would like to keep them that way so I don't want to just paint over the stenciling.

I have a concrete floor that I'm going to be painting with an epoxy concrete floor paint. This is for my son's bedroom. He wants to do an outer space type design. We want to stencil, or somehow paint planets & stars on the floor. The 2 part question is:
Part 1: What would we use to paint on top of this epoxy surface? We would like to use regular spray paint, but don't know if this would work, and if we need some sort of primer, too.
Part 2: Would we wait until the epoxy is fully cured, or would we do this before it's totally cured to ensure the stencil/sprayed paint properly adheres?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions someone could offer.
I am making a dress for a renaissance festival- no, it will not be historically accurate..
I want to use a spray fabric paint to stencil on a pattern on the bottom of the skirt.
I bought a product from hobby lobby:
I bought the "upholstery fabric paint"
http://www.simplyspray.com/
I liked the color and the price, and the fact it was not a "on the top" kind of paint.
It runs really bad and can't be used as a stencil.
The company makes a stencil spray- has anyone used this product? how "Raised" is it on top of the cloth? The company says the stencil stuff is thicker.
Is there an agent I can put into the cloth to stop the bleeding of the stencil? That will wash out?
I will give it try today
can you please give me some tips on what kind of spray paint to use (and what brand would you recommend) and what should i make the stencils out of.
im going to be stenciling black shirts, so i want to use white paint.

I am stenciling a grape vine border and left it to dry. I used the creamy blendable paints that have the film over it which you pull off before drybrushing it onto the wall and stencil. It ended up getting smeared and I tried to fix the color but it looks worse now than it did before I tried my fix. What can I do? Do I just paint over that section entirely with wall color or is there some way to just remove the stencil?
I have been saving all sorts of glass jars and I've been learning to stencil on them. My idea was to make pretty jars in sets (three different sizes per set) and to fill them with fun stuff and give these away as small gifts. The stenciling part is fun and I'm getting better, but my problems is -- when I fill the jar, the stencil doesn't show up!
I mean, if I put something like Vanilla Sugar in the jar, that works well, but if I fill it with candy or pet treats -- the treats are colorful and then you can't see the design I stenciled.
So what can I do to the INSIDE of the jars, so that the decorations on the outside show up? I don't want to PAINT the inside because I put food in there.
Any suggestions?
I have just primed a wood floor and want to stencil it. After the priming do I paint the entire floor the background color then stencil?. What do I use for the final coat(s) to protect the floor and the stenciling?
I want to do some stenciling on paneled walls in my home. When the design go across a groove in the paneling how difficult is it to keep the paint from running under the stencil. I have never experimented with stenciling before. The paint look creamy and if I apply it carefully in those areas will I have good results. Thanks!!!
I've been stenciling recently and i noticed that its really hard to apply a nice coat of white. It always comes out thin or faded looking, why des this happen? What kind of paint do you use? Any suggestions?
