Couple of questions related to copper mod....

[Big Mac]

Howdy folks,

So I decided to try mod building and see what I can come up with. The one I've started on is a copper tube mod. All the copper I've worked on it the past, I've always antiqued or want the patina on it (jewelry). This time I don't. I want it to shine! I can sand out the imperfections, shine and buff it to look good, but what I don't know, what have you guys used to keep it that way? Are you using car wax? Are you spraying on a coat of lacquer of some sort or another, what's your secret?

i also need to ask the electrical guys a question. I wanted to be able to take everything apart if I wanted/needed to, for whatever reason. Does it affect anything if I use connectors in line between the switch and the connector, or switch and battery or battery and connector?

thanks folks

I was looking into building a copper tube mod and discovered this. It's like Noalox, but for copper instead of aluminum. works as an anti-oxident to keep it from tarnishing or petina. Also promotes good electrical continuity.

i have never failed with other metal projects using this

follow instructions to a T and dont skip anything, this is the only catylized clear that will go direct to polished metal. the mixing is the most important followed by cure times.
a more expensive approach would be clear powder coating
