Waving Bear
Product Description:
This item is handmade in Colorado out of 12 gauge steel plate. This bear is about 11" tall and the base has a 6" diameter.
We recommend Renaissance Wax for protecting all our raw metal products indoors and outdoors. However, this will not stop rust on mild steel outdoors, and a patina may or may not form indoors. This wax was designed by UK museums to protect many of their items, and it is known to enhance the appearance of the item. It is extremely easy to apply. Simply wipe it on with a cloth. In 15 minutes it will cure into an invisible, hard protective layer. The surface should then be gently buffed with a clean, dry cloth (not the cloth the wax was applied with). Allow 60 minutes between coats for proper curing. Apply multiple coats for enhanced durability. Some level of corrosion may still be experienced.
If the coats are not thin enough and/or the excess is not gently buffed off after each coat, then this can cause a black residue to be left on things that come in contact with the surface. When used outdoors, this wax is typically applied 1-2 times per year, depending on climate and handling. Rusty steel is very popular outdoors in many regions, since it takes a very long time for rust to cause structural failure on thick steel in mild to moderately humid environments. If outdoor use without rust is desired, we recommend purchasing our aluminum products instead or simply using spray paint on our steel products.
