On this note...

Is there a solvent available which when poured onto copper that has oxidation will give it that shiny copper color? I am looking for an easy way out versus burnishing it... if a solvent exists please share that info... pouring some of it on to allow tinning, etc. would be a wonderful way to avoid nicking copper which is always fateful!

73,

Jim, K4OJ

Split bolts are a wonderful solution to these splices, and a lot easier than taking them apart and redoing them -- they apply a tremendous amount of pressure to the joint, which seems to break through any oxide that has been formed.
