7. Maintenance and Care

• Storage: Store finished puzzles in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage.
• Cleaning: Dust finished models gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids.
• Marker Care: Recap markers tightly after each use to prevent them from drying out. Store markers horizontally.

8. Troubleshooting

• Pieces Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the corresponding slots. Do not force pieces; check the instruction guide for proper orientation.
• Model Instability: Verify that all tabs are fully inserted into their slots. If a model feels loose, gently re-press connections.
• Markers Dry: If a marker seems dry, try gently pressing the tip onto a piece of scrap paper for a few seconds to reactivate the ink. If still dry, it may need replacement.
