Troubleshooting
Missing pieces
Double-check the box and surrounding area thoroughly. If pieces are genuinely missing after a careful search, contact Galison customer support for assistance, as they may be able to help, though replacement of individual pieces is not always guaranteed.
Pieces don't fit snugly
Ensure you are using pieces from the correct area of the puzzle. Verify that you are not trying to force a piece. The ribbon cut ensures good fit, so incorrect placement is the most likely cause.
Image lifting or damage
Handle pieces gently to avoid peeling the printed image. If minor lifting occurs, try to smooth it down carefully. Avoid using liquids directly on the puzzle pieces.
Difficulty distinguishing colors or patterns
Utilize the included full-image insert as a reference. Ensure good lighting in your assembly area. Sorting pieces by subtle color variations or patterns can also help.
