PATHFINDER MONUMENT: PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE
Located at Pathfinder Park at Clayton Scott Field, City of Renton
The monument is made of four materials. Each of the four materials used in Pathfinder
� display distinctive weathering characteristics and maintenance requirements.
• Anodized aluminum
• Stainless steel
• Bronze
' • Decorative lant material
P
A comprehensive and regular maintenance program will preserve both appearance and
I longevity of the monument. Recommendations for the general and specific care of each
of the elements are described below.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL CARE
The statue will be located outside and will be subjected to the weather. It should still be
treated as a museum object as much as possible, using museum quality products and
care.
The monument should be protected from physical damage caused by inadvertent wear
caused by stepping on or handling the surfaces. Any kind of abrasive, such as that
found on the soles of shoes, can eventually cause scratched metal surfaces.
Visual Inspection
During weekly landscape maintenance of Pathfinder Park, routine visual inspection will
reveal signs of damage, graffiti, or buildup of dust, pollen, or bird signs.
Any bird droppings should be cleaned off as soon as possible. It is very caustic and can
damage the surface in a short amount of time. Orvus paste mixed with water is a mild
detergent with no additives and is safe to use on many types of materials, including
metal.
Watch for any sign of galvanic corrosion that can be caused by direct contact between
two metals. However, this may have been addressed in the construction of the statue.
Cleaning
At least twice a year, or more often as needed, the monument should be washed. Do
not use a pressure washer. Dust, pollen, bird signs, or dirt should be removed using a
solution of Orvus paste mixed with water. A soft cloth should be used for washing. Do
not use anv kind of cleaninp solvents or anv kind of abrasives.
August 23, 2006 Page 1 of 3 Bill Jepson & TMOF
Natural bristle brushes are most often used for cleaning museum artifacts. They are
less likely to scratch the surface. They can be purchased at art supply stores or through
a museum products catalog. When cleaning, avoid touching the metal with your bare
hands, unless applying wax. Hands can leave damaging oils and acids on the surface.
Also, use cotton, latex or vinyl type of gloves that leave no residue. Other types of
plastic and rubber can leave a residue on the surface.
Special Foot Wear Required
To protect the stainless steel dome surface, put on a clean pair of deck shoes or rubber
outer shoe covers that have not touched the surrounding gravel walkway. Make
adequate provisions for safety when standing on the wet dome. It will be slipperv when
wet.
Avoid Metal Contact with Monument
If more aggressive cleaning is required on the higher aluminum sign blades, use a
wood-handled brush with natural fibers. Metal obiects should not contact anv part of the
monument.
After washing, use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe the bronze statue and the stainless
steel dome until completely dry.
, ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR:
Anodized Aluminum
All components of the signpost are made of cast aluminum and anodized. The lettering
' is black anodized and other parts are clear anodized. The anodizing process helps to
protect the aluminum from corrosion. The alloy used in the components is aluminum
alloy #535, which is very corrosion resistant. The anodizing increases resistance to
corrosion.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant steel, however, is not resistant to mechanical
chan e such as scratches or even water marks. Dama e to its surface can occur b

foot traffic or by use of cleaning abrasives. The artistic surfacing was created by
aggressive altering of the metal by grinding and sandblasting. To preserve the art, we
recommend avoiding foot traffic and abrasive activity on the surface. To avoid water
spotting, use a protective coating such as "Sheila Shine" on the stainless steel surfaces.
Bronze
Bronze will oxidize and darken with time. Careful cleaning and waxing of the statue will
help the patina, or coloring resist oxidization for years.
Prior to applying wax, follow general cleaning instructions below and be sure the statue
is completely dry.
Each six months to a year, or when water droplets no longer bead up on the surface of
the statue, apply one or two coats of clear wax. Application will be more thorough on a
August 23, 2006 Page 2 of 3 Bill Jepson & TMOF
warm day after the bronze has been warmed by the sun. This wax can be applied with
fingers or a soft cloth. Begin with a small amount and rub in a circular motion until you
feel a drag. Let dry, and then using a fresh soft cloth, lightly and vigorously buff the area
until it feels slick. Don't buff the area too hard or you will remove the wax. If the wax has
dried too hard and is difficult to remove or polish, reapply a small amount of wax to the
area and buff immediately. Renaissance Wax is a micro-crystalline wax that removes
� the previous layers of wax before it applies a new protective layer.
Renaissance Wax is a museum quality wax and would be preferred over other waxes.
Other commercial waxes can have unknown additives that can cause unknown effects
over time. If any of these products can't be found locally, they are available through
' museum supply catalogs, or searched by product name on the intemet (Orvus Paste,
Sheila Shine, or Renaissance Wax).
Decorative Plant Material
The area at the base of the dome, between the lines of longitude, is planted with Dwarf
Mondo Grass. It is a slow growing, hardy plant that will cover the entire planting area.
Little maintenance is needed once it fills the lantin bed. Until that time however it will
P 9 , ,
be necessary to remove any weed volunteers from between the mondo grass plants.
Moderate drip irrigation is needed during the dry season. Avoid sprinkler irrigation which
may spray any part of the monument. Rain is ok, and unavoidable.
