Usage, Care, or Compatibility Notes To preserve the finished image, we recommend using puzzle glue. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the board from warping. Because this puzzle features a specific Australian sunrise, it is best worked on under bright, natural light or a clear LED lamp to distinguish the subtle color gradients in the sky.
