Troubleshooting

Beads are not sticking together.

Ensure you've applied enough water with the sprayer, and the beads are fully wetted. Check that you're using the correct beads (Aquabeads brand). Allow more drying time.

Sprayer is not working.

Check the sprayer for any blockages. Ensure there is water in the sprayer. If blocked, rinse the sprayer nozzle under warm water.

Beads are falling off the tray.

Make sure the tray is level. Ensure the beads are properly aligned on the template. Apply water evenly.

Finished creation is breaking.

Handle the creation with care, avoiding excessive bending. Make sure the creation is completely dry before handling. If needed, allow more time for drying.

Designs not matching template.

Carefully compare the beads placed to the template. Make sure you are using the correct colors and bead types. Start again, following the template more closely.
