5. Maintenance and Care
To preserve the appearance and integrity of your assembled Five-Storied Pagoda model, follow these care guidelines:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the model with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to prevent dust accumulation in intricate areas.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the model away from water and high humidity, as wood can warp or swell.
- Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood to fade or become brittle. Display the model in a location with indirect light.
- Handling: Handle the model carefully, especially when moving it, to avoid dislodging or breaking delicate pieces.
6. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues encountered during assembly:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Pieces do not fit together easily. | Ensure the pieces are correctly oriented according to the instructions. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force. If a tab is slightly too large, a fine-grit sandpaper (not included) can be used sparingly to reduce its size. |
| A piece breaks during removal or assembly. | If a piece breaks, wood glue (not included) can be used to repair it. Apply a small amount, hold the pieces together until set, and allow to dry completely before continuing. |
| The assembled structure feels unstable. | Double-check all connections to ensure pieces are fully seated. For increased stability, especially in load-bearing areas, consider applying a small amount of wood glue to the joints. |
| Cannot identify a specific piece. | Refer to the piece identification diagrams in the instruction manual. The pieces are typically numbered or shaped uniquely to aid identification. |
