Bob,

While the epoxy you mention may create a nice looking finish, I would be concerned about the effect on the sound of the horn. Even a light coat of lacquer has a marked effect, and the finish you describe will be much thicker, which deadens the resonance of the brass.

This is the reason raw brass horns have become so popular - there is a difference in sound.

Sorry to complicate things, but it is something to consider!
