Default Working with tin?

--Have been making use of that .008" thick "easy solder" tin sheet
that you can get at hobby shops. It's nice and bendy and can be hammered
easily to remove dents, etc. Trouble is it oxidizes and turns fairly awful
mottled colors fairly quickly. Can someone recommend a way to 'fix' the
finish without using paint? I'm using bent pieces of the stuff to connect
bell to foot pieces for an octave of whistles that will be operated in a
fairly hot environment.
