Re: [TCML] keeping primary copper tubing nice and shiny

David is correct, but silver will tarnish significantly slower than
copper, regardless of location, and if the coil is kept under

lacquer (which would be inappropriate for a tap-able primary) will
keep if from turning dark eventually.


Find tap first, then lacquer. Most coils don't change tuning much, especially if it's a display coil, as opposed to an engineering mule.



cooler too.)  Gold also tends to plate very thin, and it is often
unrecommended to polish it after plating (unless the professionals do
it with their cyanide based formulas, which work much better than
anything sold to the public as far I can tell.)

Yes indeed.. if you're gold plating, take it to a place that does it everyday all day.
