Oneness by Michael Purdy.

STAIN-PROOF products can be used for more than just flooring. For instance, Michael Purdy, an award-winning sculptor, uses STAIN-PROOF impregnating sealers to protect his sandstone sculptures.

The preservation of art is challenging, especially pieces that are showcased outdoors instead of safely inside a museum. "Knowing what I now know through my own experimentation and observations, I always seal my work with STAIN-PROOF 40SK Consolidator and follow this a few weeks later with STAIN-PROOF Premium Impregnating Sealer.", said Michael.

Michael Purdy required a sealer that can protect his sandstone sculptures from staining as well as structural damage that may be caused by salt efflorescence, freeze-thaw spalling, or water ingress. To top it all off, the sealer must affect the look of his sculptures.

Through experimentation, the Australian artist has found the solution in STAIN-PROOF products. First, the sandstone sculptures are sealed with STAIN-PROOF® 40SK Consolidator and then after a few weeks, the STAIN-PROOF® Premium Impregnating Sealer.

Not only does this combination protect the art pieces, but it also makes sandstone harder, which really helps during installations and transportation. Learn more about how premium impregnating sealers by STAIN-PROOF were used to protect sandstone sculptures in this project at www.drytreat.com.
