The Madison, Wisconsin
Water Features created
by the design team of Sven Schunemann who's company is Flow Forms America,
Inc. and Heidi Natura, are located on the busy Capitol Square in the
heart of the city. These pieces are exposed to an onslaught of car
exhaust, sun, water, bird droppings, mineral deposits, algae and even some
paint streaks. We removed the contaminants from the metal with a pressure washer
and scrubbing then heated the metal to drive out water and applied a protective
wax coating. This type of sculpture should be maintained regularly
to protect its surface integrity and its original beauty.
