    I found that making a mixture of mustard, spermicide and plaster of
    paris applied very thin on the finger of the wearer of a mokume ring
    will prevent corrosion of the laminates. 

    However, from James Binnion's posts I would understand if the
    appropriate materials are used depending on the application, there
    is no need to use half ass measures like powder coating , glue or
    hairballs to try to stop corrosion that would be an inherent problem
    due to how certain materials react to each other when in contact with
    our bodies natural chemicals, and would compromise the integrity of
    the mokume as soon as the coating wears off, before the wearer could
    realize damage was occuring.
