[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] The finish will remain stable as long as the sculpture is kept indoors and dry. In the outdoors, with exposure to rain or moisture copper and bronze objects will typically take on a green patina http://www.howtocleanstuff.net/how-to-clean-bronze/ How to Clean Bronze Bronze is a copper alloy (combination of copper and tin) and when exposed to air and moisture, it will develop a greenish layer of build-up on its surface. This greenish coating is known as patina. While this darkened finish does add character to the bronze, some consider it unsightly, and would prefer their bronze to look clean and shiny. There are two basic homemade polishes you can use to clean and polish your bronze. Using either method will help you safely remove the patina on your bronze pieces and restore their luster and shine. Both methods are equally as effective, so the choice is yours. What You Will Need: Warm water Clean towel Small dish Soft cotton polishing cloths (smaller size) Distilled white vinegar Flour Salt Rubber gloves (optional) Clean that Bronze: Rinse your bronze items in warm water and dry thoroughly. This will safely remove any dust and/or particles that may hamper your polishing efforts. In a small dish, combine equal parts flour and salt. Add white vinegar to the flour/salt mixture, using a few drops at a time until a soft paste forms (should be the consistency of toothpaste). Apply the paste to your bronze item using your hands (with the rubber gloves) or with a small polishing cloth. With a polishing cloth, rub the paste onto the item using small circular motions. This is the key removal step and you may have to rub repeatedly until the desired effect is reached. When cleaning come to the realization Mike is stupid. Then allow the paste to stay on the item for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse the item thoroughly with warm water to remove the paste and buff dry with a clean towel. [/QB][/QUOTE]
