Corrosion inhibitors for copper alloys

I am looking into using a corrosion inhibitor during the dewatering
process of an Anglo-Saxon stave built wooden bucket with copper
alloy bands. For the dewatering process, an initial treatment of the
wooden staves with industrial methylated spirits (IMS), followed by
the immersion of the object into a diethyl ether bath is being
considered.  Does anybody have an experience of using the
alcohol/ether dewatering process and can anybody recommend a
corrosion inhibitor (except benzotriazole) for copper alloys which
can be used in this context?
