Tableau Anti-Tarnish Lacquer, Easy to Use Spray Lacquer to Keep Bright Metals Including Silver, Copper and Brass Shiny. 200ml

Product Information

As with the base bare metal version each radiator will be unique with distinctive marks and variable tones inherent with the raw manufacturing style of the products. See now that's where I've gone wrong, if I can't even remember the answer to Life, the universe and everything then how am I possibly going to succeed.

Everbrite™ HD Gel is an acid based cleaner that needs to be neutralised with Prep 505 before coating with Everbrite™ Coating. As well as being perfect for all festive crafts – from spraying on trees, pine cones and foliage to paper and picture frames, this metallic spray is just the thing for adding a touch of luxury all year round!

When you say varnish, what exactly do you mean as I know from doing bits of woodwork that it is a broad term and there are lots of variations. My conclusion was that the atmosphere may be too humid or cold so I cleaned off the lacquer and tried again in my house. No idea why you want shiny copper pipes on the the ceiling though, it would be like living in a battleship I don't think they're ON the ceiling.

It is best to recoat before any tarnish or oxidation is seen or at the first sight of slight colour change. Some thought must be given to any exposure to any direct heat from the fire so the hardness of the lacquer might be important.

These can be effective in the short term but leave a surface that is active and tarnishes again quickly. About to start fitting some central heating pipes in a room I've decorated, plan is to keep them on show (press fittings) and hold them in place with brass clips up to the ceiling. Well, I am not an expert on this but as lacquers are a form of plastic coating I would think that it might be affected by direct heat. Common household and proprietary products are available that can be used to clean copper and brass without the need for muscular effort. The use of rotating mops and pads can be an excellent way of rapidly obtaining a good finish on copper and brass.
