6Forest’s limited edition resin sculptures are unique works of art created in collaboration with talented artists from around the world. As these pieces are valuable and delicate, it’s crucial to know how to properly preserve and care for them to maintain their beauty and durability. In this blog post, we’ll share tips and recommendations on how to care for and preserve your resin sculptures.
Handle with Care
Resin sculptures can be delicate, especially those with fine details or protruding parts. Ensure you handle your sculptures with care, using both hands to hold them securely and avoiding falls or impacts that may cause damage.
Regular Cleaning
Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface of sculptures over time, affecting their appearance and potentially their structural integrity. Clean your sculptures regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush to remove dust. Avoid using harsh or abrasive chemicals as they may damage the paint and varnish.
Protection from Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and damage to the paint and varnish of your sculptures. Place your sculptures in a location where they are not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods to protect them from potential harm.
Temperature and Humidity Control
Extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity can harm resin sculptures. Try to keep your sculptures in an environment with relatively constant temperature and humidity, and avoid placing them near heat sources or in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms or basements.
Avoid Contact With Liquids
Resin sculptures can be damaged if they come into contact with liquids. Avoid placing your sculptures in areas where they may come into contact with water or other liquids, and do not attempt to clean them with liquid products unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
Proper Storage
If you need to store your sculptures, make sure to do so in a secure and dry place. Wrap the sculptures in tissue or silk paper, so that this fine and delicate texture is the first contact with the sculpture. Then, wrap them in bubble wrap or similar packing material to protect them from potential bumps and damage. It’s also advisable to store sculptures in an upright position to prevent deformation or damage from weight over time. It is recommended to store the sculptures in their own packaging.
Caring for and preserving your 6Forest resin sculptures is crucial to maintaining their beauty and durability over time.
