Troubleshooting
Tag edges feel rough
While laser-cut, edges may have minor imperfections. Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper if a smoother finish is desired before applying mediums.
Paint or mediums not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust. Apply a layer of gesso or primer before adding colors and mediums for better adhesion.
Tag is bending or warping with wet mediums
Apply wet mediums sparingly or in thin layers. Consider sealing the back of the tag as well to create a more balanced surface. Allow layers to dry fully between applications.
