STENCILS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY AT LEAST TWO (2) PEOPLE AT ALL TIMES, INCLUDING APPLICATION, REMOVAL AND STORAGE. DO NOT USE SPRAY PAINTS ON STENCILS AS SOME SPRAY PAINTS MAY DAMAGE STENCILS. DO NOT REMOVE TAPE OR PAPER MATERIALS WITH ANY SHARP OBJECTS SUCH AS KNIVES OR CUTTERS. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO WIPE STENCIL OF EXCESS PAINT BETWEEN APPLICATIONS AND TO NOT TWIST OR HANDLE STENCIL UNEVENLY OR ABRUPTLY WHICH MAY RESULT IN BREAKAGE. LEVEL OF CARE IN HANDLING, WHICH WHEN PROPERLY EXERCISED WILL INCREASE REUSABILITY OF THE STENCIL. IT IS BEST TO APPLY PAINT IN THIN COATS RATHER THAN THICK TO PREVENT SMUDGES, ESPECIALLY ON DETAILED OR SMALL STENCIL CUT OUTS.
