Polished Copper
Making a keychain out of copper for jewelry class, but it keeps tarnishing?
I’m in a jewelry class at school and I am making a key chain in the shape of a seal with copper. I am currently trying to hand polishing it, but the metal keeps (i think?) tarnishing where I hold it. I think it is reacting to moisture or chemicals or something on my hands, or maybe just air. I was wondering if using clear nail polish would prevent it from becoming dull when i move on to another part of the metal to polish. Does this work?
If not, any suggestions?
(copied from your previous question)
Nail polish would perhaps work short term, but when heated by the warmth of hands, it will not stay dry like it does on your nails.
For the short term, I would suggest holding it with a piece of cloth to slow the rate of tarnishing, or perhaps a eyeglasses cleaning cloth.
