  Product Characteristics:
  
  What are the inside dimensions of your post caps?
  Our post caps with a wood base come in many sizes, but the most common sizes are 4" × 4" and 6" × 6", which are made to fit a nominal 4" × 4" or 6" × 6" post. The inside dimensions of the nominal 4" × 4" measure 3-5/8", and the inside dimensions of the nominal 6" × 6" measure 5-5/8". In addition, we make a 4" × 6" post cap (with inside dimensions of 3-5/8" × 5-5/8") in Newport High Pyramid. We also make an 8" × 8" Copper-Topped cap with an opening size of 7-5/8" and a 10" × 10" cap with an opening size of 9-5/8". All of these special sizes are available in cedar.
  Our adaptable post caps for vinyl and composite posts come with three adaptors to fit actual 4.5" × 4.5", 4.265" × 4.265", 4" × 4", and 3.5" × 3.5" posts.
  Will my stainless steel post caps rust?
  Stainless steel is an alloy of iron that contains more then 10% chromium. Stainless steel has a hard oxide coating which makes it resistant to stains. Corrosion and wear strip away this coating causing the steel to rust. To maintain this coating, clean periodically with a mixture of vinegar and club soda.
  Will the brass post caps tarnish?
  Our brass post caps, like our copper post caps, are a true metal brass—an alloy of copper and zinc. Our brass post caps are protected with a thin clear coating of lacquer designed to protect them before and during installation. Once exposed to the elements, the sun's ultraviolet rays, moisture, and pollution begin to break down this coating, exposing the metal underneath. Periodic reapplication of this clear coating will help to protect the brass.
  What preservative is used to protect Maine Ornamental's pressure-treated wood post caps?
  Our wood post caps are protected by CA-B (Copper Azole Type B), an EPA-registered pesticide containing copper and azole compounds to protect it from termite attack and decay. For more information, refer to the Copper Azole Safe Handling Information.
  


• Care and Cleaning:
  
  Do I need to apply a finish to my wood post caps?
  As with all wood products, we recommend that you coat these with a high-quality exterior finish to preserve the wood's natural beauty and ensure a lifetime of enjoyment.
  Apply to all wood areas, including the underside of the cap, before installation.
  Should I allow my treated wood post caps to "season" outdoors before I apply a protective finish?
  No, our treated wood post caps are kiln-dried and do not require a drying period.
  We recommend applying a protective finish immediately.
  Will my copper post caps remain a shiny copper color?
  Our copper post caps come with a thin, clear marine lacquer designed to protect
  them before and during installation. Once exposed to the elements, the sun's ultraviolet rays,
  moisture, and pollution begin to break down this coating, exposing the metal underneath.
  In its natural state, copper breaks down in the elements and patinas.
  In general, copper progresses from a natural salmon color to a series of russet browns and grays,
  and finally to a blue-green or gray-green patina.
  
  How do I keep my copper post cap from turning green/patina?
  To maintain the shiny look, apply a car wax immediately after purchasing the cap, and reapply every 3 to 6 months.
  Can I speed up the patina process on my copper post caps?
  To encourage a natural patina, remove the lacquer with mineral spirits and grade 0000 steel wool.
  Will my stainless steel post caps rust?
  Stainless steel is an alloy of iron that contains more then 10% chromium.
  Stainless steel has a hard oxide coating which makes it resistant to stains.
  Corrosion and wear strip away this coating causing the steel to rust.
  To maintain this coating, clean periodically with a mixture of vinegar and club soda.
  Will the brass post caps tarnish?
  Our brass post caps, like our copper post caps, are a true metal brass— an alloy of copper and zinc.
  Our brass post caps are protected with a thin clear coating of lacquer designed to protect them before
  and during installation. Once exposed to the elements, the sun's ultraviolet rays, moisture,
  and pollution begin to break down this coating, exposing the metal underneath.
  Periodic reapplication of this clear coating will help to protect the brass.
  
  
  
• Installation:
  
  How do I attach the post cap to the post?
  We recommend using an exterior-grade construction adhesive
  (or PVC glue if attaching to a vinyl post) to adhere the cap to the post.
  Apply the adhesive liberally to the inside of the cap and place the cap firmly over the top of the post.
  If you prefer to use Brad nails, be sure to pre-drill all nail holes to avoid splitting.
