Troubleshooting
Bookmark does not hold pages securely.
Ensure the bookmark is slid onto a sufficient amount of the page. If the page is very thin, try sliding it onto a thicker section or two pages.
Enamel appears scratched or damaged.
Gently clean the area with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scratches, a very light polish with a jewelry cloth might help. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Bookmark feels too heavy for delicate pages.
