i got alot of brass, candle stick holder, trays, boxes and copper stuff also, some big items like brass buckets and outdoor stuff.. not really thick metal, mostly sheet copper for the ornamental bucket... its pretty easy doing the small stuff with Brass-O, but the bigger stuff takes too long.. i was looking for a dip and wipe off solution or somthing similar... the stuff with a clear coat to protect the metal from tarnish is what normally takes so long.... any suggestions???? thanks for a reply.....
