    When copper tongs are used (or is that abused?) by about a hundred
    students the tongs etch thinner and thinner. We have a couple pair
    that are now about copper foil thickness. Comes from leaving them in
    the pickle pots and not rinsing the tongs. Using (again 'abusing')
    the copper tongs as annealing tongs does not help them either. Any
    Orchid ideas on student proofing a studio?
