5. Maintenance
- Store all components in their designated places within the studio unit to keep them organized.
- Ensure marker caps are securely closed after each use to prevent drying.
- Keep the studio unit and accessories clean by wiping with a dry cloth.
- Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Markers are Dry
If markers appear dry, try recapping them tightly and storing them tip-down for a few hours. If they remain dry, they may need to be replaced.
6.2. Stickers or Fabrics Not Adhering
Ensure the surface of the design sheet is clean and dry. For non-adhesive materials, apply a thin, even layer of the included glue stick or a suitable craft adhesive.
6.3. Stencils Moving During Tracing
Hold the stencil firmly in place with one hand while tracing with the other. For better stability, you can use low-tack tape to temporarily secure the stencil to the design sheet.
