Hi, When I worked as a machinist's apprentice everyone in the shop knew that getting cut by a copper chip would make a wound that was harder to heal than similar wounds from other metals like stainless or iron, though stainless was also suspect. I also got to find this out for myself. Take care, Malcolm
