Instant Stencils™
INSTANT STENCILS™ can be applied to the following surfaces: wall tile, stained wood, painted wood, glass, mirrors, painted walls, painted plaster and gypsum walls, ceramic, plastic, metal, cardboard, paper and strippable wallpaper. This product is NOT recommended for fabric or materials that wrinkle in use or cleaning, surfaces exposed to prolong intense heat, surfaces exposed to moisture (i.e. sinks or showers), surfaces exposed to excessive abrasion (i.e. floors), natural varnish finishes or shellac, vinyl wallpaper, or sharp or heavily textured surfaces. If there is a question regarding the application, test the stencil on a small, hidden area before beginning. DO NOT apply INSTANT STENCILS™ to surfaces intended to come in contact with food or surfaces that young children can place in their mouths (i.e. crib rails or plastic toys).
APPLICATION:
1. Before starting, make sure the surface is smooth, clean, sound
and completely dry.
2. Plan the layout of the product with graph paper. Remember the
Strips, Small Accessories and Large Accessories can be used alone
or together to create a variety of looks.
3. Remove the protective liner from the INSTANT STENCILS™
and place the product, tacky side down, on the desired surface.
INSTANT STENCILS™can be repositioned on painted walls prior
to rubbing the design on the surface.
4. Position and hold the stencil segment with one hand, rub briskly
with the INSTANT STENCILS™ Applicator. Start in the upper
left corner of the design, and rub with pressure in a back and
forth motion. (Note: Seam roller tools can be used when pressure
is applied.)
5. The pressure will cause the transfer process to begin. A change
in color to a milky white will indicate the release of the stencil
onto the surface. (Hint: Work on small sections at a time, concentrating
extra time on areas with thin lines or great detail.)
6. Frequently check to insure the design is transferring by slowing
lifting the carrier liner. If the design has not fully transferred,
replace the liner and continue to rub until the color change occurs.
7. When the entire carrier sheet is milky white in color, it will
easily slip from the surface to reveal the full design. At this
point the carrier sheet will be void of color or design.
8. Allow the INSTANT STENCILS™ to bond to the surface for
48 hours before touching or cleaning.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each new segment or accessory.
10. If a surface coat or finish is desired, test a water-based
product on a small area before beginning.
OTHER HINTS 1. Individual designs can be cut in countless ways
to create new, unique designs. When cutting apart the stencil
designs, leave the protective carrier liner attached to the stencil
until it is applied to a surface. The Small Accessories should
be cutout prior to application.
2. When applying the stencil to an inside or outside corner, cut
the stencil exactly at the corner. Apply the first segment into
the corner, match the design at the point of the cut, and apply
the remaining piece. Simply wrapping the stencil at a corner will
prevent the stencil from completely adhering to the wall.
CLEANING INSTANT STENCILS™ can be gently cleaned with a soft
damp sponge, mild soap, and warm water. Do not apply excessive
pressure when cleaning. This product is not recommended for dishwasher
cleaning.
REMOVAL & REFINISHING:
1. Painted Wall Surfaces: Apply an appropriate
barrier coating over the INSTANT STENCILS™, allow sufficient
drying time, apply paint or wallpaper as directed.
2. Non-Porous Surfaces (Tile, Glass, Ceramic, Metal): Apply baby
oil or acetone-based fingernail polish remover to soften the adhesive.
Clean with a paper towel. Work small areas of the design at a
time, dissolving and removing the stencil color and adhesive.
When using any type of remover, work in a well-ventilated area
and insure proper safety precautions.
3. Wood Surfaces (Other Painted or Stained Surfaces): Lightly
sand the stencil using paint stripper or acetone-based fingernail
polish remover. The surface will have to be repainted or stained
as the cleaner or sanding will affect the surface.
4. Some Plastic Surfaces: Place duct tape over the stencil, apply
pressure with the applicator and pull the tape quickly from the
surface. In some cases INSTANT STENCILS™ cannot be removed
from plastic without damaging the surface, a ghost image of the
design may remain on the plastic.
