Write the next sentence in this paragraph:

How to preserve a tree stump
Wipe the top and bottom of the stump with a wet cloth.
Start by cleaning off any dirt or surface debris on the stump with a cloth. Rub the wood grain in a gentle, circular motion on the top and bottom, where the stump has been cut.

OPTIONS:
[-] You will see the stump start to brown some. This happens when sap or coarse matter (including bark) floats to the top.
[-] You may need to cover the stump with something thick and plastic, like tape, to get an even coverage. The stump should appear clean, without any marks, when you are finished.
[-] Do not wipe the bark with the cloth, as this can cause the bark to flake or fall off. Remove any flaking wood or bark on the stump.
[-] Warm up the cleaned rag with five-to 10-second intervals. This will allow moisture to work its way deeper into the stump, and prevent it from drying out too quickly.
Do not wipe the bark with the cloth, as this can cause the bark to flake or fall off. Remove any flaking wood or bark on the stump.
