Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well to the wood
Ensure the wood surface is clean and free of dust before painting. A light sanding can also improve adhesion for some paints. Consider using a primer specifically designed for wood.
Hanging string detaches
If the pre-attached string shows signs of wear or detachment, reinforce it with a stronger craft glue or replace it with a more robust twine or ribbon.
Wood warps or swells
This is typically due to moisture. Ensure the birdhouses are kept in a dry environment and treat them with a waterproof sealant if they will be exposed to humidity or occasional dampness.
