Steel Bear Table/Statue
Product Description:
This is a sculpture of a bear that can be used as a side table. It is about 19 inches tall, 40 inches long, and 16 inches wide. It weighs about 55 lbs. It is made out of mild steel.
We recommend Renaissance Wax for protecting all our raw metal products indoors and outdoors. 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. The steel may patina over time, and that is completely normal. However, the steel may rust if Renaissance Wax is not applied periodically. 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. A rusty surface is not always desireable for sitting or touching though.
Due to the nature of this design, the slices have interlocking slots that will be difficult to completely treat with wax. This means that these slots will likely have no protection from corrosion. This is only a problem when used outdoors in very humid and/or salty coastal environments. Otherwise, raw steel takes an extremely long time to rust enough to cause structural failure in mild to moderate environments.
