My purpose was to apply Everbrite on my musical instruments. These instruments, slide trombones, are made of brass, copper, nickel silver, plated silver and other kinds of métals (no iron). I made the coating effortless after some exercises. For the préparation I used THRICLOETHYLENE as a substitute to XYLENE witch is very difficult to find here. (France) I learned the coating is delicate,somewhere, for two or three days. After that time all is working great. No oxidation, no loss of brightness, no water spots as normally on raw brass. The only thing Everbrite can't do is protecting in places where the object is manipulated (or handled). I'm no surprised about that. I consider it normal as the coating is so thin . In my case there is normal wear in places where the Tbone is handled when playing, these places are continually hand buffed when playing just glassier than the rest of the instrument. I plan to do some overhaul on the first trombone whitch received Everbrite and, this summer, to apply on the rest of the bunch (10 horns) . This is a big working so I will do it slowly.

For me that's all I've to say about Everbrite. Enjoy my modest contribution.

"I create solid copper sculptures for the yard and garden and until I discovered Everbrite last year I was constantly burdened with the problem of the copper tarnishing or oxidizing. This was great for the people that requested that look, but most of my clients liked the shiny new look of the fresh copper. I had tried polishes, waxes, lacquer, and clear enamel but they all failed within months. When I stumbled across the Everbrite website it sounded too good to be true but I figured it was worth a try. Well, a year later I am still amazed with it's ease in application, durability, and longevity."
