push down on sink when the sink is resting on a flat surface during installation. Doing so

Installation Instructions USE AND CARE GUIDE Finish Note Care and Cleaning Instructions Each original, hand crafted, antique hammered copper sink is unique in texture, color and has a “living” finish with a natural and desired patina, that will continue to develop over time and use. Acidic foods such as juices and ketchup can remove the patina if left on the sink. However since the patina is a living finish it will recover over time.
