Repair of minor chips and scratches
In the event of an accident, where chipping has occurred, we have provided you with a
small touchup kit to match the mantel. In the case of a very deep chip a little plaster filler
(such as Durabond 90) may be used to bring the damaged area level before concealing the
repair.
Step #1 Fill the affected area with "dabbing" strokes. A couple of coats will be needed, al-
lowing each coat to dry before applying the next coat.
Step #2 Apply the clear lacquer with the texture grains, one coat should be sufficient for
this step.
Step #3 when all of the coats are completely dry, the surface of the damaged area should
be sanded down with a fine sandpaper to blend the repaired area with the rest of the com-
ponent.
Wax Removal
In the event some hot wax is spilt on the mantel or hearth wait for it to cool. When the wax
is cool CAREFULLY pick it off with the tip of a sharp object (i.e. Knife). When using the
sharp object it is very important that the tip (or any other part) of the sharp edge is not
pushed into the finish of the effected area, as this will chip the finish.Use a commercial wax
remover for any remaining residues, testing the remover on an inconspicuous area of the
mantel prior to use on the effected area.
Spilt Liquids
Spills and stains should be removed as soon as possible for best results. Dab up spills with
a clean cloth or paper towels, avoiding wiping the spill. Water and soap will clean up most
spills, providing that they are addressed quickly. Avoid using strong acids or chemicals with
a strong acid reaction, as they might roughen the surface if left on for any length of time. It
is always best to test the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous part of the mantel in order to
check its impact on the finish. Dust and air born dirt will settle on any mantel surface. This
can easily be removed by a vacuum with a soft bristle head. Be careful to not scratch the
surface in the process.
