They may be pretty but they're tough! Not invincible though so be kind to your pieces.
High Gloss Trash stickers are indoor stickers only and are not much of a fan of excessive amounts of water so please keep them dry. All are printed with archival inks and those with holographic effects have been laminated which will add a small amount of protection and can be wiped down with a damp cloth if need be but don’t go taking them for a bath - no matter how shiny they are to looks at!
Non-laminated (Non-holographic) stickers should avoid all contact with water at all costs, the ink may smudge and run.
We also advise you keep them out of constant direct sunlight - just like the artist, they're not a big fan of that level of exposure!
We are put together strong but our surfaces and small parts are delicate. We can scratch, chip and even shatter so please be careful with us. Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning (imagine you are cleaning glasses lenses)
Some small surface scratches can can be removed with dedicated plastics scratch removers which I can happily recommend as well as techniques on request. Though pieces that contain paint fill techniques cannot be scrubbed with any kind of liquids so best to avoid scratching in the first place.
The glues we use are super strong - many in fact bond pieces together by melting the acrylics together but some acrylics require more delicate glues and excessive water and sun can weaken them so please be mindful of this. Should a piece come loose or break off I can happily talk you through the process of repair but you shouldn't need to worry about this!
Dropping a piece will break delicate areas of acrylic, I recommend applying your pieces while sitting down and over a soft surface in case they fall from your hands or clothes.
Our metal components range from silver and silver plated to stainless steel (read the description of each piece). Where silvers have been used you can expect tarnishing to occur over time and with wear but this can easily be resolved with a gentle rub/clean with a silver cloth - do NOT under ant circumstances submerge a piece in any kind of jewelry cleaning fluids.
When being worn, try to avoid contact with lotions, sunscreens etc - when no being worn they should be kept safely tucked away out of excessive sunlight and also to avoid dust accumulation in all those little details that may cause scratches when cleaned.
