hi, I am thinking of trying to work on copper.....is there a specific gauge I should use, and I was wondering where I could buy this......also you mentioned laquer.....can you tell me what this would be, is it an art material?
thanks

Wouldn't permalac help with exclusion of patina versus lacquer?

HI there, in your verbal description of the materials you use, I missed one. You mentioned "Oil Paints, Mineral Spirits and Linseed oil mixed with?? I'm sure its something I am unfamiliar with which is why I didn't catch it. If you wouldn't mind, could you please let me know? Thank you much!!

Im pretty sure its a glazing medium instead of linseed oil.

She said something that sounded like "Immature goth kid." I think it is Galkyd. Gamblin makes Galkyd.
