How do I clean the mannequin bust?

The cream-colored bust can be cleaned by wiping it with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or saturating the material.

Is the tripod stand stable?

The tripod stand is designed for stability. Ensure all legs are properly deployed on an even surface for maximum stability during use.

Troubleshooting

Mannequin is wobbly

Ensure all legs of the tripod stand are fully extended and on an even surface. Check and tighten any locking mechanisms on the stand.

Bust does not stay at desired height

Verify that the height adjustment lock on the stand pole is fully tightened. If the issue persists, inspect the locking mechanism for any obstructions or wear.

Pins are difficult to insert

Ensure you are using appropriate tailor's pins. If the polystyrene feels very dense, try a slightly sharper pin or a different insertion angle.

Cream bust has a mark

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
