Caring for bronze sculptures
How to Use Your Bronze Care Kit
Keep your sculptures looking at their very best with our Bronze Care Kit – designed to clean, protect and preserve both hot and cold cast bronze. Inside the kit, you’ll find everything needed to remove dirt, refresh the surface, and finish with a protective wax.
“Some people care too much... I think it's called love.”
What's inside the Bronze Care Kit?
The Bronze Care Kit has been carefully curated by Robert and James; two master craftsmen who certainly know the particulars when it comes to working with and restoring bronze.
The cleaning sponge and lint-free cloth will help lift away surface dirt without scratching, while the tube of metal polish will allow you to restore your sculpture’s shine.
To reach into finer detail, the kit includes a large and a small brass brush. You’ll also find a selection of buffing mops, brushes for applying wax, and a protective pair of gloves. And, an item that no bronze care kit should be without: a tin of Renaissance Wax – the same museum-grade formula we use in the workshop.
A delicate touch makes all the difference
Tips for Waxing and Polishing
"Haste makes waste, so I rarely hurry!”
Prudent advice from the Cheshire Cat and a suggestion we would endorse. Take your time as you work, especially around smaller details like fingers, fur or feathers. With cold cast bronze, be doubly gentle, as the material is more prone to surface damage if handled too vigorously.
Move in small circles when applying polish or wax, and always allow time for the surface to settle between steps. If accidental damage does occur, we’re always here to help with repairs – although these would be arranged separately and are not covered as part of the kit itself.
Please note: Bosch drill is not included in the care kit.
Watch before you wax
