Wonderful information to use when doing these boards. Patty always gives valuable advice when demonstrating these wonderful projects.Thank you so much.💕💕💕
Hi, came across your channel and found the information interesting. Was wondering if by blow drying immediately after painting if the air from blower could cause some of the paint to spread out of place like pressure pushing on it? Or has that ever happened to you? Well I guess it's a possibility if someone was doing a light layer with a more watered down paint, like maybe white washing. I've been curious to start crafting but haven't quite got there yet. It is good to be informed though w/your do's & dont's. Thanks for the info👍🏼
Thank you for asking!! We always recommend using very light coats of paint that are of medium viscosity. You will likely need several layers of paint for the surface - background and stenciling areas - but this ensures that the paint dries quickly and stays in place - no running under stencils.
Patty would recommend using the wax instead of a varnish, to make it food safe. Here is the link to the wax: studior12.com/collections/you-are-my-sunshine/products/claphams-beeswax-salad-bowl-finish?_pos=1&_sid=b3378856d&_ss=r
I use vinyl cutout instead of a stencil as I do so many different pieces. Do you paint the same way? With a dome brush? Do you feel a stencil is better to use than vinyl? Thanks in advance!
HI Jennifer, Thanks for reaching out! You can absolutely use vinyl stencils the same way as mylar. The key benefits of mylar over vinyl is reusability (This makes layering easier) and not having to weed and do the layout. (which is hard for alot of folks) Thanks for watching the video, hope you check out the chanel because we have so many ideas that we share! Have a great day!
Patty says you can certainly do that. We don't typically do that because we've found success with our dome brushes and not bleeding under, but we know a lot of crafters and stencilers do use that technique!
Dome brushes are terrific. I seem to be a little heavy handed with paint and pressure. But I’m working on it. Off loading much better and lighter on my touch. 🙃
Hi!! Welcome :) We paint a LOT so we buy in paint in bulk from Sherwin Williams. If you want to send us a message on Facebook, we can send you a picture of the container we get and info. Before we started buying bulk, we used DecoArt. We still love the brand and often use it still :)
Acrylic paint is not food safe. We use a food safe wax on cutting boards over the paint. Here is the link to the product: studior12.com/products/claphams-beeswax-salad-bowl-finish?_pos=1&_sid=9a346f434&_ss=r
😂 The second you said shoe shine position I knew exactly what you meant. I am the daughter of a Marine and the wife of a Marine. I can't count how many times I have polished shoes! Loved your tutorial!
Here is the link to our dome brushes. There are up close photos on the listing. studior12.com/products/dome-stencil-brush-set-swirl-stipple-scumble?_pos=2&_sid=bd5f79cff&_ss=r Kari also talks about them and some basic tips in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wt3RGxq-utM.html
@@StudioR12Stencils good thing I asked, now I see how different they are from what I’ve been using all this time. Are these more effective than the round flat ones that get so hard after drying?
