Polishing Copper Mods

[HecticEnergy]

I've read a few threads on this here and over on ECR, but I wanted to see if anyone here has ever tried blue magic. I hear it cleans great and leaves a solid protective coat on the mod so it's not as quick to get that ugly brown patina I dont like

If I dont go with Blu Magic I was going to clean inside and out with neverdull and polish the outside of the tube with wendol blue to add a "protective coat". Is this over kill?

I'm going to be polishing a copper SMPL clone from AngelCigs.

Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated

No thoughts or feed back, eh?

I can't help you with polish and tarnish removal (far too many products that all accomplish the same thing), but I can offer a suggestion for a metal sealant/preservative... and that would be "Renaissance Wax".

Cheers

Yeah yeah, Hectic... I'm just a regular Encyclo-freakin'-pedia of esoteric bull shizen.

What? Why would information that helps me keep my re-enactment swords from getting grimy be considered esoteric?

Kids these days...

Seriously, I will buy that stuff. I polished my copper mod once, and it was dirty the following day. I also have permanently green hands.

That's "verdigris disease"... Mr. Acetic Acid. ;-)

Now you tell me. Well, at least I know who transmitted it to my mod.

(If you're going to go around bringing up "verdegris disease", I can't keep denying that your knowledge is esoteric, y'know)

Buy which?
So you dont polish your mods? What turned your hands green?

Ah, sorry to be vague there, I meant the renaissance wax. I found some of this Blitz Copper Shine for cheap at a TJ Maxx, and used it to polish my SMPL. It worked fantastically well (chucked an old cigalike 510 atomizer into a drill to spin the mod for buffing), but the SMPL re-acquired its patina incredibly quickly. And I started to get green hands, which hadn't happened before polishing it.

After putting a decent amount of work into it for it to stay shiny for a day, I haven't polished it since. But if Flux's magic wax can keep the patina away, I'll give it another shot.

I simply make a solution of household white vingear and water and soak my copper nemesis in it and it comes out shiny as new.
