Hey Warren
Open to advice, as always...
From what I've gleaned so far, and a couple of little experiments, I was planning to give it a good scrub with detergent and rinse to degrease, then use dilute battery acid to pickle, then rinse again with maybe some washing soda to neutralise the acid, then l.o.s.
Makes me tired just thinking of it!
There's some stuff called "jade oil" (another Liberon product)recommended as a fixer/pre-lacquer primer for the tourmaline I was going to use for colouring..?
Never done anything this big in copper before for external site so it's all guess work and any pointers appreciated!
