Can I use this to fix spots on my copper sink that the patina has come off?

I really do not think so. LOS creates a black "cosmetic" coating on copper jewelry that can be rubbed off with 0000 steel wool or polishing clothes.

I did try it on my stainless sink. I saw some improvement in shine but of course doesn't remove signs of scratches. Best way to put it is that it refreshed my sink but not to pristine "new" condition.

I think it probably could be as long as the granite is a light color. There are a lot of copper coloring in the sink

Yes!! I have. It now looks like copper in places and the plastic covered feet have marked my sink black. It's very disappointing.

I can't imagine what rusts that you'd use this to shine. It removes TARNISH. If some rust had just rubbed off onto something else through proximity, I'd THINK it would remove the non-original rust, but this is just speculation on my part.

Make sure your solution is compatible with copper pipe (non corrosive) and it should work.

I would NOT use this great product on copper. I wouldn't use any type of scrubber on copper. If you notice copper bottom pots are usually worn off by scrubbing them. Plated silver, same thing. Be verygentle with plated items and soft metal. I've noticed that raw egg will cause a stain mark on copper, and raw egg will tarnish my silver; at least for one washing.

No- as susanne said, the inside comes in contact with your food. You want it to have a somewhat matte look - just the copper - the polish is on the outside where it doesn't react with food. Patina is an entirely different thing - that's the darkening that occurs naturally with copper. As you use your pan, you'll usually use an acid (i.e. lemon juice) that will keep that part touched by food very "clean" looking - if you want the rest to look that way, just use lemon juice and salt (or copper cleaner).

Over time, every stainless sink we've owned has scratched. You can polish them out, but it requires a fair amount of work.

The best way to take care of your copper sink is surprisingly easy. For basic cleaning, simply use a mild soap, water and a sponge when necessary. You do not need other cleaning products. Do not use abrasive or harsh chemicals on any copper products as they can damage the surface. After each use, clean the product with a clean cloth. The copper finish (patina) never stops changing color. The evolution of a copper finish is gradual, and as time passes, it becomes even more beautiful. You can reduce this change with the use of wax. To help keep the copper sink with the best appearance possible, apply a thin layer of wax from time to time. The wax will help keep the shine of copper and promote better water runoff. To prevent discoloration or damage to the finish, avoid acidic substances and do not let them come in contact with the copper surface. Thoroughly rinse the sink after working with acidic substances like lemon, grapefruit, vinegar, hot sauce, etc. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as they can remove the patina and be sure to rinse the sink if one of these comes into contact with the sink. Do not use vinegar to clean the sink.

I Yes I would think so I fixed two spots but one of them I Use the Suringe for the other spot I just put the clear resin and covered it with the small plastic film but I think you could do it because there's still a lot of resin left in the strange after I fixed the first spot

You can use a soft lint free cloth like a chamois. I use it to clean and polish my copper sinks. For that application, an old wash cloth will do.

I have used it for enameling on copper. Just once, but it worked very well.

I suppose you could if you were rough enough but under ordinary use I would say no. I have the old porcelain sink that will scratch (make marks) easily and I have no problems. If you decide to buy this product you will LOVE it! I can't run my kitchen without it anymore, now that I have it! Good luck to you.

i used it on an inground pebble finish concrete pool. I had massive stains from metal, especially copper. worked pretty well, but needed repeated treatment. Turned out that the finish was too old to completely clean and pool had to be emptied and refinished, NOT acid washed.

It restored the shine on my copper pans. After using them they get darker, this turns them back to shiny copper
