Notice for Gold Leaf / Colored Item - Keep away from fire or heat as the melting point is low. - Never polish with a metal cleaner or metallic sponge. - Do not use a microwave or dishwasher. - Do not keep something sour on/in the item for several hours to prevent discoloring of tin. Wash well after use. - As tin has a high thermal conductivity, the item itself will be hot when something hot is placed. Be careful not to burn yourself. - Do not store the item in the refrigerator more than 30 minutes or in the freezer to prevent deterioration or breakage of the item. - As the item made from 100% tin is malleable, you can change its shape to your liking.
