Handling Instructions
This painting
has a permanent, sealed surface. It can easily be cleaned with a soft
cloth, with or without using water. A Q-tip soaked in water can be used to
gently remove any foreign matter stuck to the surface. This painting
requires some special handling in transit and storage to prevent damage to
its surface. It is especially important that nothing should press against
the surface of the painting with any force, as this will leave an
indentation.
[] DO NOT
ALLOW ANYTHING TO TOUCH THE FRONT OF THE PAINTING:
NO BUBBLEWRAP --- NO PLASTIC --- NO GLASSINE
[] Shadow Box Instructions:
The painting will have arrived with a "shadow box" made of
corrugated plastic. Please preserve this plastic; if broken down and stored
flat it takes up very little space. Store and move the painting with the
plastic shadowbox attached (using ½" staples into the REAR of the
painting). If desired, plastic can wrapped around the shadow box .

If the original
plastic shadowbox is unavailable, another can be constructed out of Primex
(corrugated plastic) or cardboard by cutting strips the length of the sides
of the painting and scoring them, then taping them together. Make sure to
leave a gap between the front of the painting and the folded front of
the shadow box.
[] If no
plastic shadowbox is available and the painting must be moved anyway, a
temporary alternative is to wrap a thin strip of bubble wrap around
the edge of the painting tightly, without touching the front surface.
[] If the
surface of the painting is ever damaged, it can be resurfaced in the
artist's studio: jf@JonathanFeldschuh.com |
