- The copper obtained when electroforming has a somewhat different structure than cast copper and needs to be handled with care.
- Keep your copper suncatcher away from humidity and water, not for outdoor use.
- This suncatcher has been covered with a special sealing to preserve it as long as possible; this could be one year or ten, depending on your care for it. Copper is a naturally reactive metal, meaning it can change color as the metal reacts to oxygen and moisture; this natural process is called oxidation.
