Are reusable stencils better than vinyl one-time use stencils?
Yes, for a couple of reasons. First, vinyl stencils with a sticky backing often tear during application and cannot be repaired. Second, if you are not happy with the placement of the stencil once it is applied to your surface, you cannot peel it off and stick it someplace else. Reusable Stencil Matte™ stencils can be applied again and again on the surface. Third, there are several steps required to actually apply the vinyl properly to a wall or other surface. It has to be placed on the wall and smoothed out, a backing will need to be removed carefully and individual elements may need to be removed with tweezers after paint application. Stencil Matte™ stencils are simple and easy-to-use. We do recommend a can of our special Stencil Adhesive Spray for almost all applications.
