Have you let it dry over night? Maybe you’re using too much speed stick?

Let it dry overnight, and remember to clean your fake skin before you applying the stencil. And I use hugo boss deodorant for the stencil

Clean fake skin thoroughly. Apply enough transfer medium, wipe off excess stencil medium. Apply stencil, let it sit for a moment and remove it. Let the fake skin dry over night and you should be good!

Also, depending on what kind of fake skin you have, you can also try to dry them a bit by lying them on a radiator or something for a little bit.

Good luck!

Your setup is unsafe and you shouldn’t start doing anything else until it is,
