Don't be so quick to assume it is ich just because it's covered with white dots. May be some skin reaction to the drop and little patches of dry mucus. YOu may see it like it's spreading and growing while it may only be that some skin is pealing off later on.
I would give the fish a week or so and see what happens. It is nearly impossible that after a copper treatment and 12 weeks you would still have some ich. Did you desinfect nets and containers? How can it possibly have survived?

How long in a steady solution of copper kills ich? 2 weeks? As long as he is stress free I dont see the ich coming back. I built mesh covers so he cant ever jump out again.
