No. 1 Rule of Stenciling: Do not overload your roller with paint, and always blot off excess paint onto a paper towel. "With the right amount of paint on your roller and right pressure there is usually no bleed at all and edges are crisp."
Start rolling over the stencil with your loaded foam roller, applying light to medium pressure.
Dont overload roller w/paint & allways blot excess paint on paper towel. Apply light to medium pressure with your loaded foam roller. If initial coverrage looks light, jsut keep rolling over stencil in short back and forth strokes to avoid pressing to hard. Pressing hard and you will get paint bleed.
