prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a brownish
staining effect to paint over coats.

WARNING!
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of
elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product
design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause
melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of T.V.
and radio components.
