Aging copper
 

How could you age a recently hard silver soldered joint in copper so
that it blends in to the old copper and does not look like a new joint?

Indeed. I love the workbench with catcher tray underneath!

Certainly a master of the "dremel"!

I suspect if your "sawdust" was as expensive as his, you would want to
catch it as well :-)

Indeed.

Use some HP brown sauce to clean up the rest of the old pipe
to match the repair, which presumably was cleaned with flux before
brazing ?.

Paint it with tinted lacquer?

Many years ago I used to make terrariums as a hobby using copper tape on
the edges of the glass pieces. These were then soldered together, and to
blend the solder with the copper tape I always used a solution of copper
sulphate. This had the efect of colouring the solder so that it matched
the copper tape. It worked very well.

Factories making cigarettes have very efficient extraction equipment. On the basis that the dust contains some tobacco they weigh it and claim back the tax

Makes sense - much like pubs collecting spoilt beer and sending it back
to the brewer to let them dispose of it in front of the excise officer!

There are lots of incidences where it has been resold as an expensive
item. :-)

There is loads of it and it is old and I would rather it not look like
it was added to.
