Never polish your copper still again!

Product description: 

Bring or send your copper ware to us and we will treat it with the amazing CoppaShine solution.

The CoppaShine treatment will bring old tarnished copper back to life and protect it against future oxidation, tarnish and corrosion for years if not physically removed.

CoppaShine is a tough, very durable clear coating that will seal and protect copper that get a lot of use. CoppaShine will keep your copper ware looking freshly polished! It is a clear coating that is practically invisible even on highly polished copper.

Fingerprint staining on your copperware will be a thing of the past.

Once we receive your copper pot we do the following:

1. Photograph the pot when we receive it
2. Remove all dirt and do a slight acid treatment
3. Neutralize the acid and polish the copper
4. Remove all polishing residue by alcohol/xylene wash
5. Apply the CoppaShine to your copper still in an even layer
6. Allow the CoppaShine to cure (from 3 to 5 days)
7. Photograph it again
8. Package and ship it back to you/Call for collection.

After the CoppaShine treatment you should only use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth for cleaning spills and dirt from you copper.

Our polishing process will not remove deep scratches, pit marks or impurities in the base copper - these will show as they are.

CoppaShine can be removed from the Copper by physically scratching, polishing, scuffing of the copper surface and by using xylene or other similar solvents. DO NOT use Cleaning solutions such as "Handy Andy", "Brasso" or similar cleaning products on CoppaShine treated copper. It will physically remove the CoppaShine layer.

We will only treat the visible outside of the copper pot, swans neck and condenser as, on the inside, the copper still needs to react with the mash and steam to remove sulphides. The bottom of the still will also not be treated as this is prone to scratching on an gas burner or plate.
