TIPS ON MAINTAINING POLYRESIN STATUES AND FOUNTAINS
|
| Polyresin can be painted and finished with almost any kind of paint. However, acrylics are most often used because this type of paint takes the weather well and is UV resistant. Even though some items are treated with outdoor paint, it's your responsibility to maintain the item. How long the item will last will depend on how much care you put into maintaining it. |
| |
Tip 1:
|
| The best place to display these statues and fountains are indoors, away from direct sunlight. The item should regularly be cleaned using a wet cloth. |
| |
Tip 2:
|
| When using statues and fountains outdoor, UV Protective Varnish should be applied evenly throughout the product before it is placed outside. This spray should be applied at least once every two months. UV Protective Varnish can be purchased at most hardware stores such as Home Depot and Canadian Tire.* |
| |
Tip 3:
|
| During extreme weather conditions, statues and/or fountains should be moved indoor for protection. However, if the product is too heavy to move, a weather resistant, waterproof cover should be placed on top of the statue or fountain. |
| |
Tip 4:
|
| During the winter, remember to drain fountains of all their water. This will keep the water from freezing and protect it from frozen ice cracking the fountain. |
| |
Tip 5:
|
| To keep fountain water fresh, use distilled water and replace at least two to three times a month. The water pump inside the fountain must also be cleaned thoroughly to ensure maximum functionality.** |
