    I've been reading with interest the discussions on preserving the
    patina created with liver of sulfur, but I think they all referred to
    silver. Now I'm wondering if anyone has had luck preserving the
    colorful patina you can get on copper with just the torch. I was
    asked to do a workshop recently about copper, enameled, form folded,
    etc. You can get such beautiful colors on the copper sometimes, but
    the fuschia's and blues, particularly, disappear when you apply
    Renaissance wax. Does anyone know if you can preserve these patinas
    on copper? (you can see some of my copper pieces from the workshop on
    my site.)
