Yes, Light 36 Gauge Copper is not thick enough or durable enough to use as a surface without an epoxy coating. You'll need a hard and durable coating over the copper to protect it and keep it from getting dents, markings, or oxidizing further.


The heavy 24 gauge copper does not require epoxy and can be sealed with 3–4 coats of lacquer instead, but we still recommend an epoxy as well.


Lacquer will keep the copper from tarnishing, but epoxy gives added durability. Once it cures you have an extremely solid surface, not to mention an amazing glossy, clear finish.
