. HOW TO CLEAN YOUR STENCILS

by Bradley Look

Productivity and the life of your stencils can be vastly improved with regular cleaning. Just as you should always leave your airbrush clean, so should you with the rest of your equipment. This is particularly paramount when working as a Makeup Artist who’s using an airbrush on talent. After all, you wouldn’t use dirty sponges or brushes, would you? A stencil comes in contact with an actor’s skin and should be cleaned frequently. Simple steps are all it takes to maintain clean stencils. First, you’ll need the basic equipment to get started.

MATERIALS

A solvent-proof tray (such as an enamel butcher’s tray, found in most art stores)

Paper toweling Powder puffs

Isopropyl alcohol 99 percent Spray bottle

A synthetic brush (with soft bristles)
