    With regard to the thread on sealing patinas on silver, I wonder if
    it would help to plate the piece with copper (using pickle solution
    or whatever) and then re-finish the exposed part, leaving the copper
    in the recessed parts. Then patina. Would the patina stay longer on
    the recessed parts because of the copper? ALso more possilbilities
    for the patina color due to the copper.
