Troubleshooting
Beads are difficult to thread.
Ensure the hole size is appropriate for your stringing material. For very fine threads, consider using a needle. If holes seem obstructed, gently clear with a fine pin or toothpick.
Paint is chipping or peeling.
This may occur with excessive wear or if the paint was not fully cured. For repairs, lightly sand the affected area and reapply a suitable craft paint, allowing it to dry completely.
Wood appears rough or splintered.
While rare due to quality control, if a bead has a rough spot, you can carefully sand it with fine-grit sandpaper. Ensure a smooth finish before use.
Color is not as expected.
Colors may vary slightly due to natural wood variations and dye lot differences. Review product images for typical representation. If significantly different, contact customer support.
