-----How to preserve the shine on copper
Q. I have a desktop made of copper. Although beautiful, it is becoming quite cumbersome to keep up on the polished finish. Is there a way that I can lacquer it or put some kind of finish on it, anything to keep from have to shine it twice a week. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

A. I have been told to clean the copper with Brasso ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] then take a lacquer thinner ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] Flammable! and a clean handkerchief and wipe that real clean until nothing comes off on the cloth then apply a product called Incralac ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] -- either spray or apply with a foam brush. It dries in 15 minutes then apply second coat. After a few months apply a car wax ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] ! Good luck
