l Your Create by Earlex™ Craft Paint Spraying Kit comes complete with 5 stencils, perfect for
decorating walls, furniture, fabric and other items (Fig.6).
l Attach the stencil to the surface using the masking tape provided, making sure the stencil lies
completely flat. This will prevent the air from the gun getting underneath the stencil and
raising it from the surface.
l Prepare your paint and your spray gun as explained earlier in the manual and in the DVD.
l Test the spray on a piece of paper to obtain the desired spray for your project.
l For stencilling it is best to dial down the Fluid Adjusting Screw (8) to gain a smaller spray
width. This will help you achieve a more detailed finish and finer spray.
l If any of the paint sprays outside the stencil and masking tape use a moist baby wipe to
remove quickly but gently.
l Once you have sprayed your stencil, carefully peel away the masking tape avoiding pulling any
of the background paint from the walls or item.
l Lift and remove the stencil to avoid smudging the wet paint.
l To dry more quickly you can use a hair dryer.
l If you are looking to achieve a recurring pattern, repeat the process.
l If paint starts to compromise the design of the stencil, clean with soapy water.
l You can achieve many effects by moving the stencil slightly and repeating the spray with
different colours. This will give an attractive layered design. For best results, only spray a light
coat of each colour. You do not need to complete all areas of the stencil for each colour.
