You have to run around the edge of the letters with a razor blade after the plasti-dip dries, and before lifting the stencil off.
as to the issue of white lettering turning brown: even molded-in white letters, and whitewall stripes, etc, can turn brown with age... Even Tredwear letters can have this happen-
I have always used Comet on a stiff brush to clean my tires, and since it has bleach in it, it has helped to keep the letters white on some tires, but on others, the letters would turn brown, and nothing would prevent it. (the Cooper Cobras I currently have, for example- The letters are already brown, and the tires are barely 90 days old)
I've speculated that maybe the brown staining is from some chemical leaching into the letters from the black native tire rubber? maybe some black rubber compounds are more likely to stain the white letters than others? JAT...
