Hello Mike,

    I see you don't name ranaissance wax. I use it for protecting copper
    patina and am very satisfied with it. The copper surface looks very
    near the original patina. The only problem can be that I don't us
    heat patinated copper for jewelry, only for panels, bowls etc. So I
    am not sure about how skin-grease will effect the wax, but it is
    worth a try. Hope it is the good solution for you, 

Merleen.
