Tableau Anti-Tarnish Lacquer, Easy to Use Spray Lacquer to Keep Bright Metals Including Silver, Copper and Brass Shiny. 200ml

Product Information

If you are unable to polish the copper then it is most likely that it had been coated with a lacquer or varnish and the tarnish has developed under the old coating. Bright dip’ solutions are available from specialist suppliers and the formulae available in technical literature. The Natural Gloss formula is usually the preferred choice for highly polished items as it allows the natural beauty of the copper glow to shine through. NEUTRALIZE ACIDS – Acid traces must be removed from the surface otherwise black marks/dark cloudiness will appear under the coating. The main issue was that the varnish did not stick to the brass surface, I was able to remove the coating with a finger nail.

Shake Tableau Anti-Tarnish Lacquer can thoroughly and spray a light even coat from approximately 20cm. But just one point (Some thought must be given to any exposure to any direct heat from the fire so the hardness of the lacquer might be important. I pulled the aluminum strips out and shot 'em with a DuPont automotive clear while the strawboard received a protective coat of McDonald photographic lacquer to protect the latex faux painting treatment.Ideally apply at least two coats of Tableau Anti-Tarnish Lacquer preferably from different directions to ensure complete coverage. This would be hard to do as a DIY but I am sure that with a bit of care a good result can be obtained. If it were me, I would polish the pipe before hand while still in long lengths, and likely even lacquer it before hand perhaps after cutting to rough length to avoid painting the end ends. These are intended to increase variety and eye appeal initially and through the lifetime of the product.

Rustins Metal Lacquer is a low solid lacquer based on a polymethacrylic ester dissolved in a mixture of Ketones, Alcohols and Hydrocarbons. Use a former, button stick or other simple jig if it will make life easier and prevent polish going onto surfaces such as walls or clothing where it is not wanted. Avoid pooling water, filling with water, or pouring boiling water in the sink for a minimum of two weeks after coating. As part of the cleaning or polishing techniques, the use of metal polishes are long associated with copper and brass.

Just yesterday I did a couple samples that were faux painted strawboard (same as MDF except uses wheat straw instead of wood fiber) that had decorative brushed aluminum strips down one side. See the difference between Natural Gloss and Satin finish on these copper tiles that have been coated with ProtectaClear®. I was restoring an old carriage clock thats been in the family for years and has a lot of sentimental value. Now, carefully remove the object from the boiling water and start scrubbing it under warm running water with a dishcloth to get rid of the peeling lacquer. See now that's where I've gone wrong, if I can't even remember the answer to Life, the universe and everything then how am I possibly going to succeed.

I've been using the method Clay outlined on a different thread (burying the copper in salt-solution-soaked sawdust -- say that three times, quickly! Rustins Metal Lacquer is a clear UV resistant lacquer that leaves a film that does not yellow or craze on ageing.From everyday copper pots and copper pitchers to decorative figurines and vases, industry manufactured copper products often come coated with lacquer to prevent them from tarnishing. Pickling clean in an acid solution can be used with great care but is not recommended in domestic environments. Once the metal is clean, Everbrite™, ProtectaClear® or CrobialCoat™ can be applied by several methods. I bought bare copper light switches and wall sockets which needed treating as the finish changed when you touched them. It would be nice to use capilliary soldered fittings with polished pipes, but then you run the risk of white runs where the solder has wetted some of the pipe.

This is the first times I’ve had this message, in about 3 years of working this way selling hundreds of items.

You need to remember that finger and hand prints leave acid traces on copper so it is important to wear nitrile gloves (not latex) when handling the copper after this neutralising step up right up until it has had its first coat applied.The important thing is to degrease it so getting a polished finish and degreasing at the same time is the tricky bit. Care should be taken to select lacquers designated by the manufacturers as suitable for use on copper, brass and other copper alloys that include a tarnish inhibitor such as benzotriazole or suitable alternative in their composition.
