I,m a carpenter from Chicago and I would appreciate some information on how to prevent copper from “goin-green”.
Is there a “one-time” product available to apply (a 14/12 is tough to tackle several times!) Any help would be much appreciated

Gee, most people, including homeowners love the patina. Copper gutters are a prime example. I did a porch remodel last month, and had to try to purchase chemicals that make an instant patina. Ended up using myriatic acid. Oh well, I guess thats why they make chocolate and vanilla. I would use laquer on your flashings.
