Hi everyone,

Would you please share your advice on copper cup care?

Thanks
Richard

Greetings and Salutations,

I wack mine with a stick, drop 'em, juggle 'em and then drop 'em, and otherwise get sticky finger goo all over them. And they come out of the ordeal just fine!

I suspect, however, that that is not the answer you were looking for. There are a couple of threads, here in this forum, and in the "sidw walk shuffle" forum which answers the care and feeding of cups questions.

Don't get too deep in your cups!

Live a great adventure, make magic happen!

I use a product called never-dull on coins and love it. I checked the can and it does copper too!

I let mine acquire a natural patina. Some of my copper cups have a really nice dark brown shine. If they have patches of corrosion on them when I purchase them, but the basic metal, itself, is not damaged, I will clean them with a good polish, such as Nev-R-Dull, wash them clean afterwards, and let them acquire a natural patina.

OTOH, Johnny Ace Palmer polishes his cups before every performance. It's part of his ritual. Whatever floats your boat!
