Question:

Brass and copper sealant wanted for household items

0 LIKES UnLike

I have a pair of fabulous heavy brass andirons that constantly need polishing. Is there something that I can use to seal the metal once polished so that they won't tarnish? I also have a copper bucket I would like to treat. Anybody have experience with a product they found to be good?

  1. you could try this i have ues it before works good

  2. I would spray them with a clear poly spray.

  3. I am not sure how well a poly sealant like Krylon or Rustoleum would work. There are products that can be ordered online that are made just for this purpose, but they can get a bit expensive if you need a lot. 2 that come to mind are Everbrite and Staybrite. Both can be purchased in aerosol form and from what I have read seem easy to apply. Everbrite has a more industrial sealant called Protectaclear.

    I myself am on the search for a copper sealant as I am trying to prevent oxidation to my new porch roof, and I'm sure you can just imagine how expensive that can get. I hope you find what you are looking for!! Goodness knows I am! lol

  4. A clear poly spray or Krylon would work,

    But then you'd have plastic coated or painted brass / copper items.
