Troubleshooting
Chipboard pieces not adhering well
Ensure the surface of the chipboard and the project are clean and dry. Use a strong adhesive like liquid glue, a strong double-sided tape runner, or a hot glue gun.
Chipboard appears warped
This is rare due to the material's sturdiness. If slight warping occurs from humidity, place it under a heavy, flat object for 24 hours. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture.
Color transfer to other elements
While the inks are generally stable, sealing the chipboard with a clear acrylic spray or medium before adhering can prevent any potential color bleed, especially if using wet mediums on top.
