Now u have a layer of cupric oxide over the copper, just use a light hand and some sand paper(cupric oxide is very delicate) and basically just wipe it off.

Yep... I've made this once with a copperplate for my boat. It was some cheezy alloy that was used in a press befor I got hand on it. It was rock hard I tell U. Didn't think copper got that hard ever.
Anywayz... I Ust heated it upp with a nice torch of mine and when it had cooled i smashed it against a doorpost Ust to see if it had made any difference... It dident even 'CLONK', Ust folded itself neatly round the corner
