CARE & HANDLING
Surface Records are hand-painted archival art objects.
They are not intended for playback.
Do not place a Surface Record on a turntable.
Do not expose the record to heat, moisture, direct sunlight, or abrasive surfaces.
HANDLING
Handle the record by the edges whenever possible.
Avoid touching the painted surface directly.
Natural oils, pressure, and friction may affect the finish over time.
DISPLAY
Surface Records are best displayed in a stable indoor environment.
Avoid:
- Direct sunlight
- High humidity
- Excessive heat
- Heavy dust exposure
- Contact with water
- Pressure against the painted surface
FRAMING
If framing the record, use a display method that does not press aggressively against the painted surface.
Floating frames or record display cases are recommended.
CLEANING
Do not use alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, record-cleaning fluids, cloth friction, or chemical cleaners on the painted surface.
If dust is present, use a soft air blower or consult a professional art handler.
ARCHIVAL CONDITION
Each Surface Record may contain surface variation, texture, residue, brush behavior, registration marks, or irregularities.
These are part of the object.
They are not defects.
STORAGE
Store in a dry, cool environment.
Keep the record inside its sleeve, box, or protective display when not shown.
Do not stack heavy objects on top of the record.
FINAL NOTE
A Surface Record is a documented object.
Treat it like a signed work, not a playable vinyl.
