Expert: Chester Reinhardt Date: 8/6/2008 Subject: copper patina and buffering
Question Hello,
Please tell me the proper way to use copper patina. I've made some small butterflies and they look shiny after dipping them in the patina. When they dry they don't look half as good! Do you have an electric buffer you could recommend to use after I've applied the polish? Eagerly awaiting your reply. Thank you and have a pleasant day. Maggie
Answer hi maggie when you polish the piece use a cleaner polish you have to remove the oxidation in order to get the bright shiny finish to look like a new penny.try using finishing compound from delphi glass it will shine and wax all in one step and it is fast and easy to use whenyou remove it look at the paper towel you will seehow much crud comes off this stuff work's great plus it will keep it shiny.go to delphiglass.com.please write back and tell me how you make out i like to hear how thing's come out
