FAQs
Can I write on the cork board?
The surface is designed primarily for pins, but permanent markers can be used if you wish to label specific regions, though this is permanent.
Does the board come with mounting hardware?
The board is designed to be versatile, but please verify your package contents, as specific wall anchors may need to be sourced based on your wall type.
Is the map printed on the cork?
Yes, the map is integrated into the board design, providing a clear visual guide for pinning your travels.
Can I use my own pins?
Yes, standard push pins or map pins of similar gauge to the provided ones will work perfectly.
Is the wooden frame paintable?
While the frame is finished for a polished look, it can be customized with wood-safe paint if you wish to match a specific room color scheme.
Troubleshooting
Pins falling out of the board
Ensure the pins are being pushed into the thickest part of the cork and are not being inserted at too sharp of an angle.
Board wobbling when standing on a desk
Check the surface for unevenness or consider applying small felt adhesive pads to the bottom of the frame for added stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To mount the board, ensure you use wall-appropriate hardware based on your wall type (drywall, brick, or stud). If choosing to place it on a desk, ensure the surface is level to prevent the board from tipping.
Compatibility: The board is compatible with standard map pins and push pins. If you run out of the included 100 pins, most standard-sized craft store pins will work perfectly with the cork backing.
Care: To maintain the appearance of your map, dust the wooden frame regularly with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners on the cork surface, as this can degrade the natural material. If a pin hole becomes too large from frequent moving, gently rub the area with a damp cloth to help the cork fibers swell and partially "self-heal."
