Q. One piece broke as I was trying to remove it from the board. Is the whole thing garbage now???
A. Definitely not, just send us an email (info@kcogear.com) quoting your name and order number and we'll send out a replacement part ASAP.
Q. Should glue be used to assemble and if so, what kind?
A. No glue necessary but you could use wood glue if you want. It is basically like a balsa wood and all the pieces are laser-cut and snug fit.

A. Yes you can, but we suggest painting after you have assembled your kit as painting pieces before assembly will add a layer of material to the wood and might cause friction problems during operation.
