Coppering

/ˈkɑpərɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The process or technique of coating or plating something with copper; a copper coating that has been applied.

Etymology

Present participle of the verb copper (formed with -ing), referring to the ongoing action of applying copper coating to surfaces.

Kelly Says

Traditional copper plating required immersing objects in chemical solutions for precise periods—too short and the copper wouldn't stick properly, too long and you'd waste expensive metal or weaken the underlying material!
