SCULPTURE CARE GUIDE
spring/summer care
We recommend cleaning and applying 2-3 coats of Osmo Oil to each elephant at the start of spring and at the end of summer.
AUTUMN/WINTER CARE
During the adverse weather of the autumn and winter months, we recommend temporarily storing the elephants inside if you have a suitable outhouse, barn or other covered area. If you don’t have an elephant-sized space available inside, the elephants are also happy underneath a covered terrace or shady tree to help protect them from the rain and snow.
If you wanted to protect your elephant using a temporary cover, we recommend a loose sheet of tarpaulin to encase the elephant from head to toe. Make sure the elephant is completely dry when putting the cover on, as any trapped moisture could be harmful to the lantana. When the adverse weather has passed, remove the cover and allow the elephant to fully dry out.
how to apply osmo oil
1. Osmo Oil must only be applied when the elephant is completely dry. Ideally the elephant would be placed indoors or under a waterproof covering for the duration of the cleaning and varnishing process.
2. Once the elephant is clean and completely dry, the first thin coat of Osmo Oil can be applied.
3. Wait a few days until the elephant has dried again, then apply a second thin coat. Repeat for a third and final time.
4. Allow the elephant to completely dry before returning it to its permanent position outdoors. Osmo UV Protection Oil Clear (420) can be purchased from Amazon. 5L is enough for 2-3 coats for our largest tusker.
how to clean your elephant
- Naturally occurring darkening may appear on the back and head of the elephant. This is normal for lantana camara and will be easy to clean off using a wire brush or stiff bristle brush.
- Once a year you can pressure wash your elephant using water without soap. This will act as a deep clean for the Lantana and keep it looking fresh.
