HANDLING: Flimsy, like thin cardboard. Will not hold its shape when you bend it slightly, will hold its shape if you crease it. Cuts easily with scissors. A short video clip will be uploaded soon to YouTube, the link will be posted here.
MATERIAL SPECS: Commercial bronze, 90% copper / 10% zinc. Copper has high resistance to acids and corrosion, but is soft and pliable. Zinc adds tensile strength, makes bronze harder and less malleable than pure copper. Does not deteriorate in salt water environments. Will tarnish, but will not corrode.
"Tarnish is a surface phenomenon that is self-limiting, unlike rust. Only the top few layers of the metal react, and the layer of tarnish seals and protects the underlying layers from reacting." Reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarnish.
