FAQs
Are these numbers sold as a set?
No, each item is sold individually as a single digit.
Can I use these outdoors?
Yes, but you must seal the wood with a weather-resistant varnish or outdoor paint to prevent decay.
What is the best way to attach these to a wall?
You can use heavy-duty double-sided mounting tape or small sawtooth hangers attached to the back.
Do I need to prime the wood before painting?
While not strictly required, priming will result in a more vibrant and even color finish.
Is the wood sustainable?
Yes, these numbers are sourced from sustainable wood materials.
Troubleshooting
Surface feels rough or splintered
Gently sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper until smooth.
Paint is soaking too deeply into the wood
Apply a coat of wood primer or gesso before painting to create a non-porous surface.
Number does not stand perfectly flat
Use a sanding block on the bottom edge to level the base until it sits flush on your surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to remove any loose fibers from the manufacturing process. This ensures a smooth base for your paint or stain. If you plan to hang the number, its 2cm thickness allows for the attachment of sawtooth hangers or the use of heavy-duty double-sided mounting tape. To maintain the longevity of the piece, keep it away from extreme humidity and direct, prolonged sunlight if you have applied delicate decorations. No special tools are required for setup, though standard crafting adhesives and acrylic paints are recommended for best results.
