What is the Strongest Product for a Raised Stencil? 

Of course! It's nice to know we have options at every price point! 😊

Of course! Glad you found it helpful 😊🙌

You're welcome! ❤ Glad I can help you through my videos! 😄

That's wonderful! I'm glad I could help 😊 Thank you for watching 😁

That's great! Glad I could help ya out!Can't wait to see what you come up with! 😊🤩❤

Great tip! 😊 Thank you! ❤

I would think it’s not nearly as durable as Durhams though.

Thank you!! 💕 I got the putty from Lowes but you can also order it off the link in the description box 😊❤

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan! Thanks for watching ❤ Have fun with your project today! 😊

Thank you for sharing such a great tip! I appreciate the information 😊

Oh that's fantastic! 😃 It has so many uses and it's great for these raised stencils! Make sure it's a little on the thicker side, slightly thicker than peanut butter. As for the stencil, I lay it on paper towel or cardboard and use my spatula to scrape off the rest and then spray it with a cleaner. Once it has a tiny film left on then I take it over to the sink and clean it with soap and water. Hope this helps!!😊 I'd love to see a pic when you're done!❤

HI! Water putty is a gypsum product, like plaster of Paris or cement....never let it get into your drain pipes!

Yes!!! I did that with my blue bird dresser. I think it was like my 3rd video on here. It's amazing how much time it saves! And still incredibly durable!

Hi Katie! Great question! The putty will stick to an already painted surface. I've done it many times on painted surfaces and it's solid! 😄 I do a raised stencil on the blending dresser video with bird transfers. I put that one on over chalk paint. I kept this piece for me, so using it every day I can fully say, it's a solid product for raised stencil ontop of paint 😊 Hope this helps! ❤

Oh yes! I've tried it! It changes the color a little but not much. Definitely a neat short cut to use 😁 Thank you for watching 🙌

Thank you. I guess if you really want it, you would need to go to a specialized paint store and get the actual pigment in powder form. It may work better then. I am just thinking "outloud". I haven't tried any of it myself.@@Happyspacediys

@malgozata1875 I think you could order some mica powders. It's what they use to pigment resin. That may work too! 😊

Wow! Thank you.@@Happyspacediys

@@malgozata1875 You're welcome! Have fun!

I know lol because I have a tendency to make things 100x harder on myself 😂 It was purely human error and for no other reason 😅

Hi there! No spackling paste was added. I just followed the directions on the back of the can. Water and Durham. You want to create a texture similar to spackling paste 😊

Yes! I love that you thought of that! ❤ It does make it easy and a bit quicker. But the paint will still leak under a tad. So if you keep that in mind while doing it, it's a great option! 😊💯

@@Happyspacediys Aha!! I hadn't thought of that, but I'm amazed at your patience, which I haven't got. Thanks for the tip.

@@bernadettemcmanus7975 Of course! 😊 I've built stamina towards my patience level with these projects 😂 it develops more over time 😁❤

I personally haven't done this on glass. But I've seen it done and it works. Make sure to clean glass well (rubbing alcohol works great) and give it plenty of curing time after you do the stencil. Glass loves binders like cement, plaster and putty. I've used for an all over pottery effect just not a singled out stencil. As far as mixing in the paint, it may change the color and amt of water ratio if you use the putty. Let's see.. if it were me I would add a little paint to match the color and then use the stencil again over the top to paint and not slip up. After it's all dry though! Lol also using a qtip dipped in water helps get those little mistakes up if the paint brush goes off course. Hope this helps! 🙌

@@HappyspacediysYes, that helps me tremendously! Thank you for the tips...especially the q-tip suggestion. I typically try using my fingers or a corner of a paper towel to clean up paint mistakes, but I tend to make things worse that way. Lol I was very impressed by the way you painted the stencils without any problems. 😎

@@scootermom1791 great! So glad I could help 😊 The bigger the stencil the better it is to not miss plus the type of brush helps too! Have fun!!🙌

That's so helpful to know! Especially when doing bigger projects and not wanting to break the bank 😄 thank you for sharing!

Good question! I apologize for not specifying 😊 Polyurethane top coat is applied to help protect against scratches, water and staining. I also use it for these raised stencils for durability 😊 I have a bad habit of just shortening the word to "poly" 😄 I'll do better in future videos. Thank you! ❤

Nice! Gotta love those free products!! I got that Durhams on the clearance shelf for $1 at Lowes! But usually, you can get a 16oz container of the Durhams from Amazon for under $2. And then an 8oz of DB mud for under $11. Free spackle definitely beats that! 😄

@@Happyspacediys yeah! And great experiment by the way.

@@creativegirl9710 I'll have to try it out! 😄

Hey! Thanks! 👋 I appreciate you taking the time out to tell me! ❤
