You know what goes great with copper? Tin! Combining copper and tin brought about the Bronze Age and later gave us pewter. Today's lead-free solders contain mostly tin with a bit of copper and/or other metals.

Can you share your experiences with me?
Hello everyone. I am looking for a reliable supplier of scrap copper, but after further research, almost all of them turn out to be scams. Other suppliers, on the other hand, seem unclear and the prices are too low, which concerns me. Has anyone ever tried to successfully purchase in bulk?

Copper bar top clear coat
Hi, I'm doing a bar top in copper and have the patina the way I like it but when I tried to spray some clear paint on it, the color dulled. Anyone have any suggestions of what to use? In the pic, I'm testing a gloss finish vs satin but left the middle narrow strip untouched showing the original look.

Cleaning copper
I remodel showers and cut out copper alot when installing new valves. Is there any solution I can dip these copper sticks in to clean them right away? Or can I only clean them the hard way by using elbow grease and sandpaper?

Anywhere to buy copper eyeglass frames?
Genuinely asking, I settle for rosegold since it's the closest. But I'm curious if anyone knows anywhere that sells fully 100% copper frames, because I can't seem to find anywhere that does

Hello,
Apologize if this is the wrong place, but besides overpriced seeming sellers on eBay, where is the best place to source nice high quality float copper samples and copper nuggets?
