Really nice,used a small sponge got great results with very little practice

It was my first time stencilling, I almost instantly regretted it because the deck paint ran under the stencil and splodged all over, I’ve got to cut it up to get into the hard to reach areas, but overall I don’t hate it! The pattern is cool and it’s only for a tiny area of my deck that not many will see. It’s super easy to line up, and after a few I had a system of painting.

As I wanted to cover a large outdoor area at the bottom of my garden I chose a very large stencil so that the design was visible from a distance. The stencil was used as part of a big project with a lot of preparation beforehand to get the ground ready. I used black masonry paint as the base coat and white masonry paint for stencilling. As masonry paint is thicker than other paints and quite sticky it is necessary to take a lot of care when removing the stencil to avoid bleeding and splatters.After completing each stencil, I found it was better to lift the top two corners first and gradually fold them over to the bottom two corners lining up the stencil pattern in the corners and gradually lift the stencil so that the last piece touching was the centre. Before opening up the stencil again, carefully line up one corner to the exact spot you need it to be and gently unfold the stencil and lay it flat and don’t move it around otherwise the white paint will bleed. It is not the end of the world as you can go over any stray paint afterwards, but it will save time and is much more satisfying when it looks neat. I used different size stipple brushes depending on the size of the stencil gap - try not to use ones that have a bigger surface space than the gaps in the stencil otherwise you will get a lot of paint build up on the stencil and the lines will become less crisp. I managed to do all 25 stencilled tiles in one day and did not clean the stencil in between as I was worried that trying to clean off the masonry paint might damage or tear the stencil. The last few were slightly less crisp due to some paint build up but still came out well and you can’t tell which we’re the last few. I would definitely recommend this stencil brand. It also cones with an extra half stencil (shown in the first picture) but I decided only to use full squares in my design so I didn’t need to use it, but this is a nice addition compared with others where this is not provided.

i love the design & prompt delivery of this stencil - although cheaper available on market i thought id go for the middle of road cost. i am disappointed at quality of stencil - it is made of a very thin material which will ultimately lead to leaks in paint no matter how i stick it to paving - i believed i was buying a thicker stencil that was not floppy plastic - especially for the extra cost

Some of my friends think that I tiled my front door step, so easy to use with excellent results.

Great stencil good value

I bought this to stencil a concrete path in the garden. I used white exterior paint. I found this stencil really difficult to use after painting the first one. It curled up and wouldn't lie flat. It's made out of thin plastic. I managed with great difficulty to stencil 4 tiles and it is now unusable. I'm so disappointed because it cost me over £30 including packaging and i will now have to paint over the entire path. Not happy at all
