Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Surface
Make sure your surface is clean, dry, and dust-free. Lightly sand if needed.
2. Secure the Stencil
Position your stencil and secure it using painter’s tape or stencil adhesive to prevent slipping.
3. Apply the Embossing Paste
Using a palette knife or scraper, spread a thin, even layer of embossing paste over the stencil. Don’t overwork it — smooth it on like icing a cake.
4. Remove the Stencil
Gently lift the stencil while the paste is still wet. Wipe off any excess paste from your stencil immediately with a damp cloth.
5. Let it Dry
Allow the paste to air-dry completely (typically 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on thickness and humidity).
6. Finish Your Project (Optional)
Once dry, you can paint over the raised design, highlight it with wax, or leave it as-is for a beautiful matte texture.
