Please note: If you're not going to work on your craft kit as soon as it arrives, put your engraving sheet in the plastic bag provided in your box to store it until you're ready to use it. When complete, please put your engraved sheet in a frame to preserve it. If your engraving is kept in close contact with other vinyl sheets for a long time, the paint may peel off.
