PATTERN SIZESSmall - 17 x 17 cm (7 x 7")Medium - 24 x 24 cm (9.5 x 9.5")Large - 34 x 34 cm (13.5 x 13.5")X Large - 48 x 48 cm (19 x 19") STENCILLING FLOORS1. Good prep is key! Thoroughly sand and clean first. This will provide a good key for subsequent primers, paints etc. 2. PrimeApply 2 coats of primer. We use Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer - it can be used on multiple types of surfaces and is water-based too, so much nicer to work with than oil based primers! You can buy it at either B&Q or Screwfix. 3. Basecoat/StencillingFor the basecoat and stencilling we use normal wall emulsion paint. It is easy to stencil with and to clean off the stencil too.Tape the stencil to the surface using some decorator's tape. For a multi-colour finish you will need a few stencil brushes, ne for each colour. But don't forget to follow the 'Less Is More' paint rule - see below.There are repeat pattern markers on the stencil you can use to create an even allover design. 4. SealOnce stencilled protect all your hard work with several coats of a polyurethane varnish. We use Polyvine Heavy Duty Extreme Varnish You can get it on Amazon PrimeBasic stencil instructions are included with each purchase but do get in touch if you need any more help. STENCILLING WALLSJust follow Step 3 above, for Floors. No need to prime or to seal. SPEED UP YOUR PROJECTIf you have a larger project maybe buy 2 stencils and save time. Stencils need cleaning after several applications as paint builds up. This causes bleed under the stencil creating blotchy lines which you do not want!To clean the stencil we recommend soaking in warm soapy water until the paint easily rubs off, no vigorous scrubbing needed! Soak one stencil clean while you continue your project with the other stencil. Check out our current multi purchase discounts. LESS IS MORE!The biggest mistake most people make when stencilling is overloading the brush or roller with paint. This will inevitably lead to paint bleeding underneath the stencil and causing blurry edges. You will be surprised how little paint is actually needed! Don’t overload paint onto the brush/roller and rub most of the paint off onto a piece of card before applying to the stencil. Practice first on some spare paper or card before attempting your project.
