How to Fix Cracks in Bronze

Various areas throughout your home might have a bronze surface. Some common areas include door knobs and hinges, whole doors and window frames, kitchen and bath fixtures or various types of artwork. If you notice slight cracks and scratches in the finish of any of these bronze surfaces, fix it yourself. If the cracks run too deep, you may need to have the bronze professionally refinished. But before you go to this extent, there are some things that you can try yourself.

Clear bronze wax
000 steel wool
Soft cloths
Bronze polisher
Auto repair scratch remover

Instructions

- 1
  Add a clear bronze wax to the scratched surface.
- 2
  Use a 000 steel wool pad to gently rub the wax into the bronze surface.
- 3
  Wipe away the wax with a soft cloth, and inspect your work.
- 4
  Apply bronze polisher to the surface if you can still see some of the crack.
- 5
  Rub in the bronze polisher using the soft cloth and buff using circular motions to create a nice shine one the crack is removed.
- 6
  Try an auto repair scratch remover if the bronze polisher still does not do the trick. Again, rub in with the soft cloth. If this doesn't work, your bronze needs professional restoration.
