Can I save my progress?
Yes, simply cover the adhesive area with the protective film when not in use to keep the glue fresh.
Troubleshooting
Gems are not sticking to the template
Ensure the protective film was removed completely and that the template surface hasn't collected dust or debris.
Pick-up tool is not lifting gems
Apply more jelly wax to the tip of the pick-up tool and ensure the wax is firmly embedded in the tool's opening.
Symbols are hard to read
Use a magnifying lamp or increase your ambient lighting to ensure the contrast between the symbols is clear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Crystal Art project is straightforward: clear a flat workspace and ensure you have adequate lighting to see the symbols on the template. Use the provided jelly wax by pressing the tip of the pick-up tool into the wax, which allows the tool to easily lift individual resin gems.
Care for your finished project is simple: keep the figurine away from extreme heat sources, as this can affect the longevity of the adhesive. If the figurine gathers dust over time, use a soft, dry brush to gently clean between the gems. Do not submerge the project in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the adhesive or dull the shine of the resin gems.
