Troubleshooting
Woodpeckers Wooden Craft Sticks are designed for durability and ease of use. Should you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- Splintering: While designed to be splinter-free, natural wood can occasionally have minor imperfections. If a stick feels rough, gentle sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can smooth the surface.
- Warping: Warping typically occurs due to exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperature changes. Ensure proper storage in a dry, stable environment.
- Adhesion Issues: When attaching materials, ensure the stick surface is clean and dry. Use appropriate adhesives for the materials being joined (e.g., wood glue, hot glue, craft glue).
