FAQs
Is the sailboard cutout waterproof?
No, the STAR CUTOUTS Sailboard is made of cardboard and is not waterproof. It should be kept away from water, high humidity, and rain to prevent damage.
Can I use this cutout outdoors?
It is primarily designed for indoor use. If used outdoors, it must be in a very sheltered area, protected from wind, rain, and direct sunlight, as these elements can quickly damage the cardboard.
How do I assemble the sailboard?
Simply unfold the cutout and extend the pre-attached cardboard easel on the back. Ensure the easel is fully extended and stable for the sailboard to stand upright.
Can I personalize or decorate the sailboard?
Yes, you can certainly personalize it! You can attach balloons, streamers, lights, or even write on it with suitable markers for cardboard. Avoid heavy attachments that could cause it to tip or tear.
What are the dimensions of the cutout?
The sailboard stands approximately 185 cm (72.8 inches) tall, 80 cm (31.5 inches) wide, and 17.5 cm (6.9 inches) deep when set up with its easel.
How do I store the cutout after use?
To store, gently fold the cutout along its original creases. Keep it in a dry, flat place, ideally in its original packaging, away from moisture or extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
The sailboard doesn't stand up straight or is wobbly.
Ensure the cardboard easel on the back is fully extended and locked into its stable position. Check that the cutout is placed on a completely flat and even surface. If outdoors, ensure there is no wind.
The cutout arrived bent or creased.
While packaged to prevent this, cardboard can be susceptible to transit damage. For minor creases, you might be able to gently flatten them under a heavy, flat object for a few hours. For significant damage, contact customer support.
The color looks faded or dull.
Ensure the cutout is not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time. For initial dullness, ensure the lighting in the display area is adequate.
Difficulty folding it back for storage.
Refer to the original fold lines when you first unfolded it. Gently re-crease along these existing lines. Do not force folds that are not pre-scored, as this can damage the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions

- Locate Easel: Identify the cardboard easel attached to the back of the sailboard.
- Extend Easel: Fold out the easel stand fully. There will be a pre-scored line; ensure the easel forms a stable triangular support.

It is primarily designed for indoor use or very well-sheltered outdoor areas to protect it from weather elements.
Care & Maintenance
- Handling: Always lift and move the cutout by its base or sturdy sections. Avoid pulling or pushing from delicate points.
- Storage: When not in use, carefully fold the cutout along its original creases and store it in a dry, flat place, ideally in its original packaging, to prevent bending or creasing.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe any dust or smudges with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the cardboard.
- Environmental Factors: Protect the cutout from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading, and keep it away from areas with high humidity or moisture to avoid warping or weakening of the material.
- Damage Prevention: Position it away from high-traffic areas where it might be accidentally bumped or knocked over.
