Can I use it on copper surfaces? Will it scratch a copper table top?

STOP....STOP....PLEASE DON'T CLEAN YOUR COPPER BOTTOM PANS. Sorry to be an alarmist. If you scour your copper bottom pans they won't be copper bottomed for long. You'll end upwith brass bottom pans. The copper will wear off. The reason the copper is there is for efficient heating of your cooking. The copper shouldn't be shiny. It should be dark. Whew..I hope this warning is in time to save it..

If you really want to polish your copper pans use ketchup - it does a great job on copper.

I would NOT use this great product on copper. I wouldn't use any type of scrubber on copper. If you notice copper bottom pots are usually worn off by scrubbing them. Plated silver, same thing. Be very gentle with plated items and soft metal. I've noticed that raw egg will cause a stain mark on copper, and raw egg will tarnish my silver; at least for one washing.

I don't think this is as gritty as some cleansers, but I'm not sure about using bit on copper table top. You might want to check w manufacturers of copper pots and pans what they recommend. I think All Clad makes some...

I'm not sure about a table top,but I haven't found it to scratch anything of mine as of yet. The only copper that I used it on, was my stainless steel pots have copper trim on the bottom and center, and it shined them up perfectly! I would probably test a small area first, maybe.

I don't think there's any problem using this product on aluminum, I have used it with great success and the product has come in contact with several differt metals including copper and brass without issues. Make sure if your using a scraper to scrape with somethingthat won't damage your aluminum.

Yes. I have used Flitz on copper, as well as many other ferrous and non ferrous metals and it will bring them to a mirror polish easily. However, if the corrosion (green powdery residue on copper) is heavy, you may want to use some fine steel wool to remove the bulk of it first.

I have used it several times on mine....and other cast iron pans...and no, it doesn't scratch it. If it leaves a rust-type stain, just clean it with Barkeepers and it will be perfect! I use Barkeepers on my cooktop all the time and it's amazing. My cooktop is 14 years old and not a scratch

it says for use on any wood or painted cabinet surface, and laminate. it does not say anything about metal, but I think it would easily scratch off of metal

I don't know the thickness of the copper, but since I bought them I have scratched the copper pretty deeply and can't see the interior layers of other metals.It doesn't seem like something that will wear off like Teflon.

I don't think so. It hardly worked on metal.The scratches can not be deep at all, for any product like this to work.I was not pleased.

Hi, David! You should have good results using it on your copper table tops. Artists and craftsmen who work in bronze and copper often use it to protect their creations. It's also used on copper sinks, range hoods, and countertops. According to the manufacturer, it is food safe, so even using it on a dinner table would be perfectly fine. If you're new to paste wax, don't forget that it's the real deal; a little goes a long way. You want a nice, thin coating. When it is sufficiently dry (experiment with this) then buff away. You'll be hooked on TreWax in very short order. This stuff is wonderful! Hi, David! You should have good results using it on your copper table tops.

I think it would work well on any bare metal, as long as you wipe it clean with some rubbing alcohol before coating it with the paint. The alcohol will remove any wax or greese that may be on the copper, or any surface for that matter. Be sure to spray 3 to 4 very thin coats within 10 minutes of each. Make the last coat the heaviest without running the paint.

Yes, it is the best copper cleaner I have used. It restores tarnished copper to its original shine. Be sure to use water with the application and wipe completely dry.

I use it on my kitchen table (wood, but sealed with some sort of gloss). I wouldn't use it on a nice dining room table without a glossy protectant, though.

I have a ceramic cooktop and use this copper pan as well as other copper pieces and have had no problems. To my knowledge the only surface that won't tolerate copper is an induction cooktop as a magnet doesn't stick to copper (the test for appropriate pans for induction cooktops).

I purchased this product to use on my copper dining room table legs and it worked great. I had a few issues with getting the wax out of tight crevasses, but overall it did a great job. I hope this will assist.

I only use this product on stainless steel pots and pans, and will do a real great job on the copper bottoms on pans. I use this for all stainless steel items. Might scratch some items,Test first.Note: Amazon is real great to do business, as I use them all the time. STORM

You can get a copper cleaner. Don't use on the inside and make sure it isn't flammable.
