Troubleshooting
Plates are difficult to connect.
Ensure the connecting edges are clean and free of debris. Try aligning the plates at a slight angle before pressing down firmly. If plates are new, they might be a bit stiff; gentle, consistent pressure is key.
The building surface feels unstable.
Check that all adjacent plates are fully and securely interlocked. Make sure the surface underneath the plates is flat and even. Add more connecting plates to create a larger, more stable grid if needed.
Colors appear faded or dull.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Store the plates in a dark or shaded area when not in use.
Blocks do not attach securely to the plates.
Confirm that you are using blocks that are compatible with the stud dimensions of the Block Tech system. Ensure the studs on the blocks are fully seated onto the corresponding connectors on the plates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Continue adding plates until your desired building surface is achieved. Ensure all connections are firm before beginning construction.
Compatibility: This set is explicitly designed to be compatible with other leading construction block brands. This means your existing blocks and figures can be used in conjunction with the road plates, expanding the creative possibilities without needing to purchase an entirely new system.
Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of the road plates, clean them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the plates in water, as this may damage the material. Store the plates in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or fading.
