Setup

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Choose a clean, flat, and stable surface for assembly. Ensure good lighting.
2. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Organize the bricks, planks, and decorative elements for easy access.
3. Review Instructions: Read the detailed construction instructions thoroughly before beginning. Familiarize yourself with the building steps and diagrams.
4. Apply Foundation Sticker: Place the foundation sticker onto the HDF base according to the instructions. This sticker provides the layout for your construction.

Operating Instructions: Building Your Model

Follow these steps to construct your Trefl Brick Trick model. You can either follow the included plans or use your imagination to create a unique structure.

1. Brick Laying: Apply a small drop of the special glue to one side of a ceramic brick. Press it firmly onto the HDF base or another brick, ensuring proper alignment. The glue dries quickly, so work efficiently.
2. Layer by Layer: Continue adding bricks layer by layer, following the design. Ensure each layer is level and stable before proceeding to the next.
3. Integrating Wooden Planks: Use the wooden planks as indicated in the design for structural elements or decorative features. Cut them to size if necessary and secure them with the glue.
4. Adding Cardboard Elements: Assemble and attach the cardboard decorative elements to enhance the realism of your construction site.

Reusing Bricks

One of the unique features of the Trefl Brick Trick kit is the reusability of its bricks. To disassemble your construction and reuse the bricks:

1. Submerge in Water: Place your completed brick structure into a container of water.
2. Dissolve Glue: Allow the structure to soak. The special glue will dissolve in the water, causing the bricks to separate.
3. Clean and Dry: Once separated, clean any remaining glue residue from the bricks and allow them to dry completely before your next building project.

Maintenance

• Cleaning Bricks: After dissolving the glue, gently scrub any residual glue from the bricks using a soft brush and water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
• Storage: Store all components in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve their quality. Keep the glue bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Bricks Not Sticking: Ensure you are using enough glue (one drop per brick surface is usually sufficient) and pressing the bricks firmly together. Allow adequate drying time before adding significant weight.
• Structure Instability: If your model feels unstable, check for uneven brick placement or insufficient glue. Disassemble the affected section (by soaking in water if necessary) and reassemble carefully.
• Glue Drying Too Fast: Work in smaller sections if the glue is drying too quickly. Ensure the glue bottle cap is replaced immediately after use to prevent premature drying.
