Clear coat Hi. I'm trying to get advice on what's a good clear coat to use for jewelry. I do mostly copper, silver, and bronze work, and I'm looking for something more than just a wax to really seal in my patinas and protect the skin of the person wearing the piece. preserving mild steel with a clear finish

Clear coat | finishes | mild steel I am looking for suggestions on perserving mild steel so it will not rust, but with a clear coat finish. I use a welder to draw on sheet metal, then I use torches, grinders, and polishing wheels to creat colour and texture to the drawing. I have been using a spray of automotive clear coat to protect the finish work from rusting, but I am looking for other ideas, I am not sure how long the spray will protect the art. any suggestions appreciated "How do I clean my copper?"

Clear coat | copper | copper cleaning | patina One of the most common questions we receive is "How do I clean my copper?" and "Will it tarnish?" Well the answer really is - it depends. Yes, copper will tarnish over time as it reacts with the air and it will develop a patina. That patina will be different depending on whether the item is inside or outside, and if you prefer you can avoid it entirely with a wax finish or lacquer. I am looking for a Deep Clear Coat
