Fall 2019

This bronze sculpture suffered some large indentions and deep scratches during transport. After cleaning the sculpture, the sculpture was wiped down with mineral spirits to remove old wax. The damaged areas were lightly sanded and filled with bronze filler.

When OnAim removed the wax coat, it became clear that the wax layer was tinted black and that there wasn’t a lacquer layer. Once repairs were done, comparable black tinted wax was applied to warm surface then burnished and buffed during the cooling process.
