How to Store Diamond Painting Canvas

Storing a diamond art canvas requires a certain amount of skill, both to prevent damage to the canvas itself and to keep it sticky and tidy. The storage of diamond paintings also depends on the situation.

Because it is the best tool to isolate dust and protect the adhesiveness of the canvas. Then lay the canvas flat on a dry, flat surface. You can press the corners with heavy objects to prevent curling.

However, many people still use folder book to store canvases, because it can isolate dust and moisture and prevent the canvas from becoming moldy or dirty.

Over time or due to other factors, the canvas's stickiness may weaken. At this time, the following measures can be taken to restore stickiness.

• How to clean sticky surfaces:

Gently wipe the sticky surface with a clean baby wipe to remove surface dust and impurities. The stickiness will recover after it dries naturally.

• Steps to use adhesive to enhance stickiness:

Purchase special diamond painting adhesive and apply it evenly to the areas that have lost their stickiness. Wait a moment for the adhesive to become semi-dry before continuing to glue the diamond on.
