Cleaning & Waxing Bronze Sculptures: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 4: Wax Your Statue & Protect it For Another Year

Apply a thin layer of wax from the tin with a paint-brush. Careful: wax can stain! Avoid nice clothing and carpets!

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

Apply the wax with a stippling motion (a dabbing motion) to help the wax reach deeper detail.

There is no need to wax beneath the underside of the sculpture, which is in contact with the ground.

As you apply the wax, use the paint brush to push wax from areas where you have applied it thickly, to areas you have not reached yet. Applying the wax too thickly will cause the buffing stage to take longer and waste wax.

If you are waxing your sculpture indoors, or if the wax has not got soft in the tin, then you can use a hair dryer to speed the process.

Heat an area of surface of the sculpture with hair dryer until the wax turns more liquid when applied to the heated surface. This will help you move the wax around the surface of the sculpture more easily.

Important Warning: using a hair dryer speeds the waxing process, but if you are cleaning a Bronze Resin, you must be very careful not to overheat the resin by holding the heat on one area for a long time. Very high temperatures can cause cracking – so you may warm the area until the wax turns more liquid, but then must redirect the hair dryer.
