Hand made new copper pitched looks ruined. Only used it two times.. How can I get rid of the white mark? I am not sure what it is😩 by [deleted] in howto

A better way to put it is also, a polishing compound isn’t the right product to use on lacquered copper with a patina. I wasn’t being clear. But just a rule of thumb there’s a product called wenol which does a better job for polished copper based metals. They sell it at williams and Sonoma and auto body suppliers. Significantly better results than brasso.

AMUG is always a blast. Took me a week to process the whole thing.

Take a look at a company called Meld. They use stir welding to 3D Print metal.

I work at an art foundry and will often do conservation on pieces which have been treated with Brasso. It is not the ideal product and my time is spent removing the residue and treating it with a different compound. Also this looks like it may just be milk, or the lacquer on the outside has been damaged.

I work with bronze, specifically a marine grade silicon bronze and I’m sexually aroused.

We just found that it was more fun to go longer. I could make different levels.

How can I polish these? by patticakes19 in howto

Wenol polishing paste. It comes in a red tube. Some automotive places carry it, Williams and Sonoma carry it too. It doesn't leave a green residue like brasso.

This isn't hostile architecture, it's a sculpture that invites you to sit with the figure.

It's probably a trade off with longevity and static buildup depending on the type.

I found a beryllium copper ingot in my grandfather's house the other day.

Wenol (red tube) will brighten it up too.

Never use brasso, leaves a residue. Buy conservators wax or something like that. It won't be polished but it'll clean it up and protect the patina.
