Add A Little Flair!
I decided to brighten up some wood crates I made for construction tools and supplies. I'm happy with the results. A few suggestions to avoid paint wicking under the stencil. Sand the surface flat and smooth, if possible. (The common wood I used has lots of texture.).  It is preferable to lay the stencil flat horizontally. Use light layers of paint. Mask off adjacent areas with blue painter's tape and brown masking paper as necessary..A Rubber Brayer Roller can be used to roll the stencil flat.  I used Krylon Easy Tack Repositionable Adhesive Spray to keep the stencil flat.  It worked pretty well (not perfectly).  It can be a bit too sticky to remove the stencil.  On a cold morning (50 degrees) the stencil was stuck down good.  I let it sit in the sun for two hours (70 degrees) and it pulled up OK with a bit of effort.  No damage to the stencil. You might want to run a test case on scrap material before using adhesive.  Have fun!
