Troubleshooting
Dragon is not hanging straight
Adjust the position of the jute twine on the hanging point or ensure the hanging surface is level.
Bare metal finish is rusting too quickly or unevenly
This is a natural process for the bare metal finish. For more even rusting, ensure consistent exposure to moisture. If desired, you can manually accelerate rusting by spraying with a saltwater solution.
Paint chipping on Antique Black or Traffic Red finish
Inspect the area for damage. Minor chips can be touched up with appropriate metal paint. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could exacerbate chipping.
Jute twine appears worn
Replace the jute twine with a new, strong natural fiber or weather-resistant cord to ensure secure hanging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Hang the dragon securely.
Compatibility:

Care:

- Antique Black & Traffic Red Finishes: These powder-coated finishes are durable. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the coating.
- For all finishes, periodically check the hanging twine for wear, especially if displayed in exposed areas. Replace jute twine if it shows signs of degradation.
