Shari on Aug 21, 2014I did a lot of stenciling back in the 90s when it was popular then and I used adhesive made expressly for the purpose of holding stencils in place. Purchased it at either Joann's or Michael's on the aisle where all the stenciling supplies were sold. It did have to be reapplied every so often, depending on how many times you lifted and repositioned the stencil but it worked great then so I can only assume today's products are just as good.Helpful Reply

Ruth Wolery on Aug 22, 2014I have done stenciling and yes I sprayed adhesive on the back and did it in sections (that I believe I bought at JoAnn's and it worked ok because it would have moved otherwise).Helpful Reply
