I would have thought copper washers too hard for this joint.
I had problems sealing with even relatively soft new fibre washers, so I added a smear of epoxy resin to the joints and all has been well for years. I did have to take it apart once and it did come off OK but probably when I next do it i will use blue hylomar (as stays soft whilst red sets) as takes a while to clean off the epoxy to make sure new mating surfaces are clean and smooth.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
