What techniques are used to simulate aging or weathering in WPC animal sculptures?
Simulating aging or weathering in WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) animal sculptures involves several techniques to achieve a natural, time-worn appearance. One common method is using specialized paints and stains to create patina effects, mimicking oxidation and sun exposure. Sandblasting or wire brushing can add texture, replicating erosion from wind and rain. Chemical treatments, such as vinegar or bleach solutions, accelerate discoloration for an aged look. Additionally, embedding natural materials like moss or lichen enhances realism. These techniques not only improve aesthetics but also ensure the sculptures blend seamlessly into outdoor environments while maintaining WPC's durability.
