Operating (Construction Guide)
Follow the detailed building instructions provided in the manual for step-by-step assembly of the Small Forest House. The instructions will guide you through the process of laying bricks, applying glue, and attaching decorative elements.
Key Construction Steps:
- Brick Laying: Use the real ceramic bricks to construct the walls and structural elements of the house. Apply a small amount of the special glue to each brick to secure it in place. The glue is designed to be water-soluble, allowing for re-use of bricks.
- Cutting and Gluing Boards: Utilize the provided cardboard elements and follow the instructions for cutting and gluing them to form roof sections or other architectural details.
- Decorating the Surroundings: Enhance the realism of your forest house by adding natural elements such as moss and stones around the base. Use the HDF underlay as your building base.

The set provides detailed building plans, but you are also encouraged to use your imagination to create unique constructions. The special adhesive works quickly, and only one drop is typically sufficient to connect elements.
Maintenance and Reusability
One of the unique features of the Brick Trick set is the reusability of its bricks. The special glue used in construction is water-soluble, allowing you to disassemble your creations and build new ones.
Disassembly and Re-use:
- To disassemble your construction, carefully place the brick structure in water.
- Allow the glue to dissolve, which will separate the bricks.
- Once separated, clean the bricks thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before re-using them for new projects.

Storage:
Store all components, especially the glue, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain their quality and usability.
Troubleshooting
- Bricks not sticking: Ensure that only a small, even amount of glue is applied to each brick. Allow sufficient drying time before handling. If the glue has dried out, ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use.
- Difficulty disassembling: If bricks are not separating easily in water, ensure the structure is fully submerged and allowed enough time for the glue to dissolve. Warm water may accelerate the process.
- Missing parts: Refer to the parts list in the instruction manual. If any essential components are missing upon opening the kit, contact customer support.
