Default Why are copper fittings brighter than copper pipe?

I'd try steel wool in various oughts; 000 or 0000 before Emory cloth
and then seal the shiny copper finish.

I'll give a try. Thanks


You could also try 4000 grit wet/dry sandpaper ;-)


Don't you think that's a bit too coarse? I have other options lying
around the shop. ;-)

The 6K is probably closer to 10K since it's been used a couple of times.

The first time I tried Micro-mesh is when my son and I made this steering
mechanism for a Soap Box Derby car. 1/4" aluminum sandwiched between 1/8"
Acrylic.

I think you have a good solution with the 12K. G

Scratch my idea of 0000 steel wool.
