Troubleshooting
Egg arrived chipped or broken
Contact the retailer for a replacement or exchange. Handle remaining eggs with extra care.
Paint not adhering well to the surface
Ensure the terracotta surface is clean and dry. Lightly sanding the surface can sometimes improve adhesion for certain paints. Apply a primer if necessary.
Hanging loop feels loose
Gently reinforce the attachment of the metal collar to the terracotta with a strong adhesive suitable for ceramics, such as epoxy glue.
Terracotta is absorbing too much paint
Apply a sealant or primer to the terracotta before painting to reduce absorbency. Apply paint in thin, even coats.
