Working with Copper Lanterino Oxidation and Waxing

Oxidation stages

Copper Lanterino blocks age through four visual stages, each with Compressed and Double Compressed versions:

• Copper Lanterino
• Exposed Copper Lanterino
• Weathered Copper Lanterino
• Oxidized Copper Lanterino

Each stage also exists as Exposed Compressed Copper Lanterino, Exposed Double Compressed Copper Lanterino, and so on through Weathered and Oxidized. Oxidation happens naturally over time once the block is placed.

Stopping oxidation with wax

If you want to freeze a Copper Lanterino at its current stage, apply wax to get the Waxed variant. The full waxed set covers every stage and compression tier:

• Waxed Copper Lanterino, Waxed Compressed Copper Lanterino, Waxed Double Compressed Copper Lanterino
• Waxed Exposed Copper Lanterino, Waxed Exposed Compressed Copper Lanterino, Waxed Exposed Double Compressed Copper Lanterino
• Waxed Weathered Copper Lanterino, Waxed Weathered Compressed Copper Lanterino, Waxed Weathered Double Compressed Copper Lanterino
• Waxed Oxidized Copper Lanterino, Waxed Oxidized Compressed Copper Lanterino, Waxed Oxidized Double Compressed Copper Lanterino

Order of operations

Decide your target stage before waxing. If you want an Oxidized look, let the block oxidize fully, then wax it. If you wax early, it stays at that stage permanently. Compress or double compress before or after waxing as needed, since both tiers exist for every waxed stage.
