Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this cutout ready for painting or does it need more sanding?
  Each piece is sanded to a smooth finish (~180–220 grit), making it ready for most paints, stains, or markers right out of the box.
• Can I use acrylic or watercolor paints on this wood?
  Yes, both acrylics and watercolors adhere well to the sanded birch surface. For best results with watercolors, a light sealing coat can reduce warping.
• Will the cutout fit into a 4" x 4" space?
  This cutout measures 3-7/8" long by 3-3/8" wide (98.43 mm x 85.73 mm), so it fits comfortably within a 4" x 4" area.
• Are the edges safe for classroom or children’s projects?
  Cut edges are machine-finished for minimal splinter risk. However, for projects used by children, inspect and sand any remaining rough spots before use as a best practice.
• What’s the best way to attach this to another surface?
  Wood glue or hot glue work well for attaching to wood, paper, or card stock. For hanging, a small hole can be drilled or a glue-on hanger attached.
• Can I buy in bulk for group activities or a business?
  Absolutely—packs of 10 or 25 are available for classrooms, events, or kit production. For custom sizes or larger quantities, contact us for available options.
• Are there any visible knots or holes?
  Select birch plywood provides a clean, uniform appearance with minimal natural imperfections.
• How durable is the wood for children’s crafts or play?
  The crossbanded birch veneer construction resists cracking and warping under normal crafting conditions, standing up to regular handling and decoration.
• Will the wood warp or bend with paint or glue?
  With a 7–11% moisture content and sturdy crossbanded construction, the cutout is designed to resist minor warping. Allow paint or glue to dry fully on a flat surface for best results.
• How close are the shape and size from piece to piece?
  Cutouts are machine-shaped for strong consistency within a ±0.2 mm tolerance, supporting uniform results in grouped or bulk projects.
