Troubleshooting
Wood splinters during carving or sanding.
Use a sharp carving tool and proceed slowly. For sanding, start with a medium-grit sandpaper and finish with a fine-grit for a smooth surface. Always wear protective gloves when carving.
Paint or stain does not adhere well.
Ensure the wood surface is clean and dry before applying any finish. A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper before application can also improve adhesion. Allow adequate drying time for each layer.
Wood warps after applying finish.
Avoid over-saturating the wood with liquid finishes. Apply thin, even coats and allow each to dry completely. Ensure storage in a stable environment.
