Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together well.
Ensure all parts are properly cleaned of any residue from the MDF sheet. Gently test fit parts before applying glue. If a part is slightly warped, a gentle curve against a flat surface might correct it.
Glue is not holding parts together.
Confirm that you are using PVA glue suitable for MDF. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Apply glue sparingly to avoid excess that might weaken the bond.
MDF parts are chipping during assembly.
Use a sharp hobby knife for cutting parts from the sprue. Handle MDF parts with care, especially around delicate edges.
