6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and clarity of your QMG Flute Fingering Chart, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the laminated surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the lamination.
- Storage: Store the chart flat or gently rolled to prevent creasing. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can cause fading or warping.
- Handling: Handle the chart by its edges to prevent fingerprints or oils from accumulating on the main display area.
7. Troubleshooting
Chart Curling
If the chart arrives rolled and exhibits a tendency to curl, you can address this issue with the following methods:
- Flattening: Place the chart on a clean, flat surface and weigh it down with heavy books or other flat objects for several days. This will help the lamination relax and flatten out.
- Mounting: For a permanent flat display, consider mounting the chart on a rigid backing such as a poster board or thin plywood using appropriate adhesive.
