Repairing scratches on Corten Steel sculpture due to rough handling in transport
April 20, 2010
I am a sculptor. I designed and had fabricated a sculpture made from Corten steel. In moving from one gallery to another, it was scratched or scraped in rough handling by movers. Is there any method for masking or covering up these scratches and still retain the rust patina? Will it rust by itself and fill in these marks with new rust? It is outdoors.
