Sculpture Care Guidelines
Proper care and maintenance will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your sculpture. Please follow these guidelines carefully:
General Sculpture Care Tips
- Handle With Care: Avoid scratching, rubbing, or applying excessive force to the surface.
- Placement: If outdoors, avoid placing sculptures directly on the ground, grass, or in contact with water. Use a stable, elevated base.
- Chemicals & Water: Keep away from water sprinklers, detergents, fertilizers, or harsh chemicals.
Bronze Sculptures
- Outdoor Placement:
- Do not place directly on soil or grass.
- Protect from water sprinklers and chemical exposure.
- Cleaning & Maintenance:
- Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use water and a soft cloth, but always dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture.
- Wax twice a year using bee wax or microcrystalline wax to maintain the finish.
- Rain or Moisture: Always dry the sculpture thoroughly after rain or any water exposure.
Resin Sculptures
- Cleaning & Maintenance:
- Treat with the same care as you would a car.
- Use soft cloths, car shampoo, and dust the surface frequently.
- Avoid harsh liquids, scouring pads (e.g., Scotch-Brite), and abrasive cleaners.
- Outdoor Placement:
- Do not place directly or permanently on the ground, grass, or in water (e.g., ponds).
- Avoid long-term water exposure or standing moisture.
- Always dry the sculpture after rain or water spray.
- Regular Care:
- Perform routine cleaning to maintain its original appearance. Neglecting maintenance can make restoration more difficult.
- Paint & Surface:
- Resin sculptures are coated with high-quality automotive paint designed to last for years when properly cared for.
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the surface to preserve the finish.
Environmental Conditions
- Do not expose sculptures to extreme temperatures. Acceptable range: -20°C to +40°C.
