Copper Tube Mods

[dirtybirdy]

I have recently purchased a copper tube mod and would like to know is there anything I can put on it or seal it with so it does not "brown" so quick?

I like to clean my mods about once a week but I don't want to have to shine it every other day.

Perhaps, you can apply a clear coat finish.

A few applications of "Renaissance Wax" will seal the pores of the metal... and although it won't completely prevent tarnish, it does reduce the event considerably.

I personally don't own a copper mod but at the local B & M there a few copper mod owners and they are using clear coat on theirs.

Clear polyurethane works good on copper and brass

In the UK its illegal to use copper for repairing car exhaust problems because it gives off toxic fumes at high temperatures.

Various copper compounds are used in fungicides.

OTOH - "Arts & crafts" Yuppies go crazy for copper cooking pots - Go figure!

You could use Happich simichrome polish, leaves a protective finish or the original Never-dull, fast and easy to use.
Both work well, the semichrome polish is outstanding.

Those "yuppies" you refer to are using copper cooking pots with a tin or steel lining... Heat transfer on copper pans beats out pretty much any other material and the weight keeps them on the stove without moving! The only time you use a plain copper kitchen item is a copper mixing bowl for mixing egg whites (yes, it really does make a difference as I've tested it myself!)

And copper mods are not the same as a copper atty...
