5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity of your CubicFun 3D Puzzle, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the foam board material.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, do so carefully to avoid bending or tearing pieces. Store pieces flat in their original packaging or a suitable container in a dry environment.
- Environment: Keep the puzzle away from extreme temperatures, high humidity, and direct sunlight, which can cause fading or warping of the material.
6. Troubleshooting
Most assembly issues can be resolved by carefully reviewing the instructions.
