If I want to have a roof of half-weather copper that will never change because of lightning, I can just wax it. But if I want a fully weather copper building, lightning can strike it and I can not wax it to make sure it doesn't change back. I think think that there is no reason not to allow players to wax all types of copper, and it might just upset some people who want a fully weather copper road, but can't because it keeps getting converted back.

This is a duplicate of MC-207361 which is invalid because it is a feature request.
IT does need to be waxed because lightning can undo the oxidizing. If I want to keep a fully weathered roof weathered, then it needs to be waxed to prevent lightning from de-weathering it.
I can wax a half weather copper and when it gets stuck by lightning it won't change, but there is no way to prevent it from changing back if it is fully weathered.
Because fully weather block is the last stage of copper, it dont need to be waxed
