Buy better stencils.

So I wrote the rant, deleted it, and now I'm going to give you quick points without getting angry. I present to you a list of my problems: 1.) stencils are made of cardboard; 2.) The letters didn't pop out; 3.) Quality control keeps you from popping halfway without tearing the cardboard templates; 4.) Even if you manage to get the letters out, the stencils never stop dropping scraps of paper that get caught in your paint; 5.) The stencils were not level even though they came flat and made of paper; 6.) Line up the bottom of the real letters if positioning is NOT the bottom edge of the stencil. They are not equidistant from the edge; 7.) Won't clean the stencil no matter what you do (no amount of tape or pressure will help); 8.) You get 2 of one letter and 1 of the other, so use wisely (?); and 9.) Even if you like them, just because they can't be washed, they're pretty much disposable. Sure, they're only $10, but it's still not worth the hassle. The end result was I spent 10 minutes on the stencil and a week sanding away paint that ran freely outside the lines and now I have a random set of letters that I will never use.
