ANYTHING SPECIAL ABOUT CLEARING OVER COPPER? I HAVE SEVERAL PIECES THAT THE CUSTOMER JUST WANTS A CLEAR COAT TO KEEP THE COPPER LOOKING SHINEY.

Re: CLEAR OVER COPPER
I should work just as well as over other polished metals. Clean very will with rubbing alcohol and a soft lint-free cloth being sure to carefully wipe off all marks and streaks, a quick once-over with a torch to remove any fuzz or lint, and coat. As with any polished part, if you coat over a fingerprint or a smudge, it's there permanently.
Best of luck.Dan

Re: CLEAR OVER COPPER
Won't 400 degrees turn the copper blue and purple? I would think it might with thin copper like 22 gauge...Comment

Re: CLEAR OVER COPPER
Good point. If you go at the full temp it might discolor it. Go with Harleydad's suggestion with the acrylic clear or other low-temp clear. Lower temp, and longer cure time.Dan
