Troubleshooting
Stylus not scratching effectively
Ensure you are pressing firmly enough on the black coating. The stylus is designed to remove the coating with moderate pressure. Check that the stylus tip is clean and not clogged with residue.
Artwork looks smudged or messy
This can happen if the hands or other surfaces touch the newly scratched areas. Allow the artwork to be completed before handling it extensively. Gently brush away excess black particles with a soft cloth or brush.
Child is having difficulty with fine details
For younger children (closer to age 3), focus on larger areas or simpler patterns. Encourage them to experiment with different pressures and angles of the stylus. You can demonstrate by scratching larger shapes first.
Black residue is getting everywhere
Use the scratch art set on a surface that can be easily cleaned, such as a placemat or a large piece of paper. You can also have a damp cloth or a small brush nearby to periodically clean the surface as you work.
