Cast Care
How to best care for your casts
​
Plaster
Plaster casts come in a sealed frame with a glass front. The frame should be dusted carefully to avoid damaging the delicate plasters inside.
​
Glass
Glass casts should be gently dusted using a soft cloth.
​
Polished bronze casts should be cleaned with ‘Brasso’ and we recommend using the Brasso ‘wadding’ rather than the liquid.
​
Patinated bronze casts should be gently dusted using a soft cloth, they should not be over cleaned, scrubbed or washed as this will remove the patination.
​
Nickle plated casts should be gently dusted using a soft cloth, they should not be over cleaned, scrubbed or washed as this could damage the surface and possibly remove the plating.
​
Sliver plated casts should be gently dusted using a soft cloth, they should not be over cleaned, scrubbed or washed as this could damage the surface and engraving and possibly remove the plating.
​
Sterling silver casts should be cleaned using ‘Silvo’ and we recommend using the Silvo ‘wadding’ rather than the liquid.
​
Gold plated casts should be gently dusted using a soft cloth, they should not be over cleaned, scrubbed or washed as this could damage the surface and engraving and possibly remove the plating.
