Care & Maintenance

Upkeep

• Show your new piece with pride, but handle it with care.

• Please protect it, especially around small children and animals.

• Careless hands and wagging tails can damage your art.

• Children should only touch or hold it under supervision.

• Your sculpture has a coat of wax to protect its finish.

• Dust as needed with a feather duster or its equivalent.

Repair

Scratches

• Your carving has a coat of wax to protect the finish.

• You can often make small scuffs disappear by applying a thin coat of furniture or paste wax.

• Let it harden, and then buff the affected area with a soft cloth.

Breaks

• I may be able to restore the piece. A photo will help me decide.

• You can try to repair it yourself. If it breaks, save all the parts and brush off any dust.

• Apply glue sparingly to each surface and push them snugly together.

• Wipe off any excess glue while keeping firm pressure on the break.

• Reapply wax if needed.
