Troubleshooting

Paper is not sticking well.

Ensure a sufficient layer of glue is applied to the horse surface and over the paper pieces. Make sure the paper pieces are not too thick and are smoothed down firmly.

Glue is drying too quickly.

Work in smaller sections, applying glue and paper gradually. Keep the glue pot covered when not actively using it.

The brush is becoming stiff.

Clean the brush immediately after use with water and allow it to dry. If glue has dried on the brush, try soaking it in warm water.

Uneven finish on the horse.

Smooth the paper pieces down firmly onto the glued surface and apply an even top layer of glue over the entire piece. Overlapping pieces slightly can help create a smoother overall effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required for the horse figure. The kit is ready to use straight out of the box.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use with the included materials. The Decopatch paper and glue are specifically formulated to adhere well to the papier-mâché surface of the horse figure.

Care:

  • Store the glue and brush in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the lid is securely closed.
  • The finished Decopatched horse can be wiped gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if it gets dusty. Avoid harsh cleaning methods or soaking the figure in water, as this can damage the paper and glue.
  • Keep paper sheets stored flat to prevent creasing before use.
