WHAT KIND OF PAINT DO YOU USE?
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS WE GET AND THE SHORT ANSWER IS:
WE HAVE PERSONALLY USED EVERYTHING FROM CRAFT PAINT, TO SPRAY PAINT, TO LATEX PAINT AND MORE!
WE ARE ADVOCATES FOR USING WHATEVER YOU HAVE ON HAND OR LIKE BEST!
BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR NEW PAINT OR WANT TO KNOW OUR PERSONAL FAVORITE, WE USE
LATEX PAINT + BB FRÖSCH PAINT TRANSFORMER
DO YOU PAINT THE EDGES?
WE PERSONALLY CHOOSE TO NEVER PAINT OUR EDGES, LEAVING THE LASER CUT BLACK EDGE VISIBLE.
HERE ARE THE TIPS +TRICKS WE USE:
HOW DO I ATTACH MY PIECES
ALL OF OUR MDF PIECES COME WITH A PEEL + STICK ADHESIVE BACKING. SIMPLY PEEL OFF THE PROTECTIVE BACKING, AND STICK THE PIECES IN PLACE.
PRESS FIRMLY TO MAKE SURE IT IS STUCK IN PLACE.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER KIT OR IF YOUR PIECES AREN’T STICKING, WE RECOMMEND USING A SMALL AMOUNT OF SUPER GLUE TO ATTACH THEM

TO ATTACH FELT OR OTHER NON-MDF EMBELLISHMENTS, WE RECOMMEND USING A HOT GLUE GUN OR GLUE DOTS
HOW DO I CENTER MY PIECES?
MOST OF OUR KITS INCLUDE A PLASTIC TEMPLATE THAT YOU CAN PLACE ON THE INSERT TO HELP YOU CENTER YOUR PIECES.
IF A TEMPLATE HAS ARROWS, PLACE THAT EDGE OF THE TEMPLATE AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE INSERT THAT THE ARROWS POINT TO.
NOTE: 2021 TEMPLATES ARE NOW THE SIZE OF THE INSERT TO MAKE CENTERING EASIER. IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER KIT, YOU MAY NEED TO USE A RULER TO CENTER YOUR TEMPLATE ON THE INSERT.
TEMPLATES NOW INCLUDED IN ALMOST EVERY KIT!
