Description
What's the difference between Artistic Wire® "Natural Copper" and "Bare Copper"?
- Natural Copper by Artistic Wire contains a tarnish-resistant coating that will protect it from discoloration for a "reasonable amount of time" (duration will depend on exterior conditions including shaping/hammering, wear, chemicals, etc.).
- Bare Copper does NOT contain the coating and is intended for uses where a patina is desired.
