Question

Work in progress!  My back hurts  Need to finish off the edges with the stencil, any tips for the edges?!Work in progress! My back hurts  Need to finish off the edges with the stencil, any tips for the edges?! *EDIT: Paint is dulux masonry paint in two different shades of grey. Have bought screwfix sealant to seal afterwards. Stencil was from Ebay by searching "patio tile stencil" and I asked the seller to custom make to the size of our slabs x
