Hi Fran,

    If you are looking to protect your finished pieces, something I
    learned right here on this very forum is to use car wax. I can vouch
    it works great. It needs to be the paste wax. Clean your piece
    thoroughly, and coat the cleaned piece with car wax. I wear gloves or
    hold the piece in another cloth, and I apply the wax with a q-tip.
    This way, you prevent any fingerprints or other residue from being
    caught under the car wax and oxidizing. Let the wax dry, and then
    buff it off. 

    Thanks to the forum members who taught me about it earlier this
    year. 

Miachelle
