BREWIS Metallic Copper Flakes are decorative metal flakes designed for use in crafts, artistic finishes and surface decoration. These copper-coloured flakes add metallic sheen and textured highlights when embedded in varnish, lacquer, resin or adhesives. They are suitable for model making, mixed-media art, furniture accents and decorative coatings where a copper metallic effect is desired, providing visual depth and realistic metallic appearance without the weight of solid metal sheets.
Advantages
BREWIS copper flakes offer consistent colour and thin, flexible pieces that adhere well in liquid and tacky media. Their fine-to-medium particle size allows for both subtle shimmer and more pronounced metallic texture depending on application technique. The flakes are easy to distribute and fix into clear or coloured binders, creating durable decorative layers that maintain the copper tone after curing. They are ready-to-use and compatible with common craft materials, allowing precise control over coverage and intensity.
Suitable for
- Model making and scale dioramas
- Mixed-media and collage artworks
- Decorative furniture accents and restorations
- Epoxy resin river tables, coasters and jewellery
- Varnish, lacquer and clear-coat finishes

How to use
Apply BREWIS Metallic Copper Flakes into a wet layer of varnish, lacquer, resin or adhesive; gently press or distribute the flakes to achieve the desired coverage and texture. For transparent effects, sprinkle flakes sparsely into clear resin or topcoat; for dense metallic coverage, layer flakes over a tacky surface or mix with a suitable binder before applying. Allow the binder or coating to cure fully according to the product instructions used. After curing, excess loose flakes can be removed with a soft brush and a final clear coat can be applied to seal and protect the surface.
Usage recommendations
Work in a well-ventilated area and use suitable protective equipment when working with resins, solvents or sprays. Test adhesion and visual effect on a small sample before full application to ensure desired result with your chosen binder and finish.
