Does it come in other letters?

Troubleshooting
Uneven paint absorption
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply a primer or gesso layer before painting for a more uniform finish.
Adhesive not bonding well
Use a high-quality craft adhesive suitable for porous materials. Ensure both surfaces are clean and free from dust.
Shape is slightly warped
Gently press the letter flat on a firm surface. If minor warping occurred during shipping, this may help correct it. Allow it to rest under a light weight in a dry environment.
