: When possible, use a small clamp or paper clip to hold joints together for 30–60 seconds while the glue sets.

: Use a ruler and a scoring stylus to "dent" the paper along fold lines. This prevents the paper from cracking and ensures the model holds its shape.

: Most complex paper models have numbered pieces that should be assembled in order.

: To avoid warping or "pesky grooves," apply a thin, even layer of glue. For large surfaces, Craftsuprint suggests lightly moistening the paper or diluting the glue slightly.
