black magic patina etc
Anybody know if there are any brush-on, rinse-off acid washes for
solder/came etc in colors other than black and copper? Golden maybe? Greenish aged type? Where to get? Personal observations of use? TIA, Bob |

"NoBody" wrote in message ... Anybody know if there are any brush-on, rinse-off acid washes for solder/came etc in colors other than black and copper? Golden maybe? Greenish aged type? Where to get? Personal observations of use? TIA, Bob Due to the fact that patina is a chemical reaction, the chemicals react with the base metal. The only way to get colors other than those commercially available, simply, is to change the base metal. There are other colors, all results depend on how much work you put into the application. None are "simple". As mentioned, Jax chemical is the most widely used. In order to get green, you need the copper plate(not patina) to get those results, along with a darker brown. Most patinas applied cold are rather fragile, especially when first applied, and certainly while still wet. Try those first Bob, then get into some chemistry, there is arather expensive book out there called the Bronzing and patination of metals, which mostly covers copper based alloys. ( copper, brass and bronze) plated srufaces included. |
