FAQs
Can I paint over the paste once it is dry?
Yes, once the relief paste is fully cured, it acts as an excellent primer for acrylic paints, oils, and various decorative glazes.
Is this product safe for children to use?
While the product is water-based, it is a professional craft medium and should be used with adult supervision for younger crafters.
How thick can I apply the paste?
You can apply it in various thicknesses, but keep in mind that extremely thick applications will take longer to cure and may crack if forced to dry too quickly.
Can I use this on fabric?
Yes, it adheres to fabric, but note that the relief area will be rigid and not flexible, so it is best used on decorative items rather than garments that require frequent washing.
What is the best way to clean my stencils?
Rinse your stencils in warm, soapy water immediately after use. A soft brush can help clear the paste out of intricate stencil details.
Troubleshooting
The paste is peeling off the surface.
The surface was likely too smooth or dirty. Ensure the surface is sanded slightly if possible and cleaned with alcohol before application.
The stencil lines are blurry or messy.
You may have applied too much pressure or used too much paste. Use less paste and pull the knife across the stencil with a lighter, steady touch.
The paste is taking too long to dry.
High humidity or extremely thick layers will increase drying time. Use a fan to circulate air around the project to speed up the process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for long-lasting results. Ensure your workspace is clean and your surface is free of dust, oils, or wax before application. If you are applying the paste to glass or glazed ceramics, wipe the area with rubbing alcohol first to improve adhesion. During application, keep a damp cloth nearby to wipe away stray marks immediately. Clean your tools, especially palette knives and stencils, immediately after use with warm, soapy water; if the paste dries on the tools, it will be significantly harder to remove. Store the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to prevent the medium from drying out in the jar.
