[lama]

David, Tung Oil is toxic. Woodworkers used to use it a lot until it was
discovered to be absorbed through their skin as they rubbed it into the
wood.

> Any recommendations for a clear coat for copper jewelry which will have
skin contact?  Beeswax?  Lacquer?  Tung oil?  I'd prefer a non-glossy
finish, and something which will not wear off easily.
