Note to Pupils:

Preserving Moulded Objects

  1. Varnishing:
  • Applying a coat of varnish helps protect moulded objects from dust, moisture, and wear, enhancing their durability and appearance.

2. Painting:

  • Adding a layer of paint not only adds color but also acts as a protective barrier, preventing the moulded object from deteriorating due to environmental factors.

3. Keeping in a Dry Place:

  • Storing moulded objects in a dry environment helps prevent mold and mildew growth. Moisture can be detrimental to the integrity of certain materials.

4. Wrapping in Plastic:

  • Placing moulded objects in plastic wrap or bags helps shield them from dust and environmental elements, maintaining their original condition.

5. Displaying in a Cabinet:

  • Placing moulded objects in a cabinet with glass doors protects them from physical damage while still allowing them to be visible. It also reduces exposure to dust and air pollutants.

Evaluation:

  1. Name three ways to preserve moulded objects.
  2. Why is it important to preserve moulded objects?
