ImpressArt 16g Copper Petite Bracelet Blank, 5x3/8" (Each)

• Raw copper is unplated, and may not be as shiny and smooth as most plated finishes.
• Raw copper can be etched with ferric chloride!
• To remove tarnish, use copper cleaner, a polishing cloth, or fine grit (1000 - 1500) sandpaper.
• To remove rough edges and give a beautiful high polish to raw copper items, tumble-polish them with steel shot, water and a burnishing compound in a rock tumbler.
• To create an antiqued look on raw copper, apply an oxidizing solution. This works especially well to bring out the details in any texturing or stamping you've added.
