Copper
In its natural state, copper breaks down in the elements and develops a patina. In general, copper progresses from a natural salmon color to a series of russet browns and grays, and finally to a bluegreen or gray-green patina.
- To maintain the shiny look, apply a car wax immediately after purchasing the cap, and reapply every 3 to 6 months.
- To remove an already tarnished finish, remove the old coating with mineral spirits and grade 0000 steel wool. Buff with grade 0000 steel wool for a satin finish. For a mirror-like finish, apply a
car wax or spray with a clear lacquer or polyurethane and let dry, and then apply a car wax. - To encourage a natural patina, remove the lacquer with mineral
spirits and grade 0000 steel wool.
