Troubleshooting
Chalk breaks easily
Handle with care. Store chalks in a protective container and avoid dropping them. Press lightly when drawing.
Dust is excessive
Work in a well-ventilated area or use a dust-trapping surface like a damp cloth. Clean up dust promptly after use.
Color not vibrant on surface
Ensure the surface is clean and has a suitable texture (porous or rough). Apply more pressure gently or layer colors for increased intensity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply uncap or unwrap the chalk sticks and begin using them.
Compatibility: These chalks are compatible with most standard chalkboards, easels, and textured paper. They can also be used on concrete or pavement for temporary outdoor art. Avoid using on smooth, non-porous surfaces where they may not adhere well or could cause smudging.
Care: Store chalks in their original packaging or a dedicated chalk box to prevent breakage and dust. Keep in a cool, dry place. To clean surfaces after use, a damp cloth or sponge is usually sufficient. For hands and clothing, standard washing with soap and water will remove chalk residue.
