I’m in a jewelry class at school and I am making a key chain in the shape of a seal with copper. I am currently trying to hand polishing it, but the metal keeps (i think?) tarnishing where I hold it. I think it is reacting to moisture or chemicals or something on my hands, or maybe just air. I was wondering if using clear nail polish would prevent it from becoming dull when i move on to another part of the metal to polish. Does this work?
If not, any suggestions?

Weather their just starting out, or well into the hobby. I would say that my level of involvement is at a beginners stage. But I have a boat load of supplies accumulated. Seriously, a lot of beads. I would love to see some of the work that people have found, or made themselves. So many of the designs that I find in the books are horrid. Thanks! P.S. if you know of any good websites that are free and provide instructions please let me know.

Does Joann or Hancock fabrics sell jewelry making supplies?
