Show Me Your Patina!

How are you copper scales guys keeping them from developing copper stank??? I bought the Leek with copper scales and I can't stand to carry it. If I touch it I can smell that sulfurous stank the rest of the day even if I wash my hands ten times. If I wipe it down with a towel it's good again for a while but it always comes back.

If you wanted to, you could spray a clear coat over it. Some guys will do a "shipwreck" patina and then do a clear coat over it to lock it in place. However the smell doesn't really bother me too much.
