Troubleshooting
Sticks splinter when cut.
Ensure you are using sharp cutting tools. Apply steady, even pressure. For precise cuts, consider using a fine-toothed saw.
Glue not adhering properly.
Ensure the surfaces of the sticks are clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive for wood and allow adequate drying time between steps.
Paint or markers bleed excessively.
