Traditional Brown Patinas
Traditional Brown Patinas are available in 8oz., 32oz., 1 gallon, and 5 gallon sizes. Spray tops are included with 8oz. and 32oz. bottles. Liver of Sulfur is sold as a powder in 2oz., 4oz., and 16oz. sizes by weight. One gallon of Traditional Brown Patina generally covers 200 sq. ft.
Aged Copper
Aged Copper Patina reacts on bronze, brass and copper. It is concentrated and should be diluted to work properly. Typical dilution is 20-50% distilled water. Use as an immersion (bath) or apply with a sprayer at room temperature. Depending on dilution and application, it will create a light to dark brown patina.
Antiquing
Antiquing Patina creates an aged brown to black finish on bronze, brass, and copper. On iron, steel, aluminum, and zinc, it will produce a grey to black patina. It should not be used on stainless steel. Antiquing Patina does not need to be diluted, but may be thinned with distilled water for a lighter finish. This cold patina is commonly used on the Metal Coatings and as a base for Traditional Green Patinas.
Copper Plate
Copper Plating Patina produces a copper finish on iron and steel. Applied cold, lighter coats will develop a salmon copper color while heavier coats will produce darker copper colors. Copper Plating does not work with the Metal Coatings or most other patinas such as Tiffany Green. However, it can be used as a base for the Traditional Torch Patina. Diluting should not be necessary with this formula.
Copper Rust
Copper Rust Patina causes a red to brown finish on bronze, brass, and copper. This cold patina should not need to be diluted. It will blacken iron and steel if applied hot. Copper Rust Patina does not work on the Metal Coatings.
Copper Sulfate
Copper Sulfate Patina creates a brown finish as a hot patina on bronze, brass, and copper. Applied cold, this patina will develop a copper color on steel and a grey finish on zinc. It does not need to be diluted before use.
Darkening
Darkening Patina is most commonly used cold on bronze, brass, and copper to produce a beautiful brown finish. This patina is often diluted with distilled water before use to lighten the color. Normal colors will range from golden brown to very dark brown (almost black). On iron and steel, Darkening Patina will create a grey to black finish. On zinc, this patina will also be black.
Ferric Nitrate
Ferric Nitrate Patina creates a transparent brown patina when applied hot to bronze, brass, and copper. It does not need to be dilutued before use. The final color is determined by the strength of the solution, amount applied, surface preparation, and the temperature of the metal during application. Lighter applications will be transparent golden brown. Additional coats will turn dark burgundy to brown and more opaque. Ferric Nitrate Patina is commonly used over a Liver of Sulfur base to produce a chocolate brown patina. On iron, steel, and zinc, Ferric Nitrate Patina is applied cold and takes hours to develop. On iron and steel, this process generates a stable orange rust. On zinc, the result is a yellow brown finish.
Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride
Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride Patina produces a transparent red brown finish when applied hot to bronze, brass, and copper. Similar to Ferric Nitrate Patina, the final color and opacity is determined by the application process. Additional coats will turn darker brown and more opaque. Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride Patina does not need to be diluted before use.
Honeycomb
Honeycomb Patina causes a golden brown finish on iron, steel, aluminum, zinc, and stainless steel. On bronze, brass, and copper the patina is a warm brown. Honeycomb Patina is applied cold to all metals and should not be diluted before use. It will immediately cause a soft brass or light gold finish, but will take 3-5 minutes to fully develop with agitation depending on the surface. Multiple coats will produce a strong gold color.
Japanese Brown
Japanese Brown may be used on bronze, brass, and copper resulting in a golden brown finish, but it is most commonly used hot or cold on iron and steel. When applied cold to iron or steel, a brown rust will form. On heated iron or steel, a dark chocolate finish will result. Heat will darken the color as well as reduce mottling.
Oil Rubbed
Oil Rubbed Patina is a rich brown finish for bronze, brass, and copper. The patina should be applied at room temperature and will take a few minutes to develop. To ensure an even finish, rub the first coat with a Scotch-Brite pad, then apply a second coat.
Rustic Brown
Rustic Brown Patina produces a bronze brown finish on iron and steel. On bronze, brass, and copper the patina is rich brown. On zinc, the patina is grey to black. Rustic Brown patina is applied cold to all metals, should not be diluted before use, and takes 3-5 minutes to develop depending on the surface. Multiple coats will darken the patina.
Tan
Tan Patina creates an opaque tan finish on all metals. It is applied hot or cold depending on the surface. Tan Patina is often layered with other Traditional Brown Patinas such as Ferric Nitrate or Japanese Brown. It is also commonly used cold on the Metal Coatings, especially iron, to produce rust. It may be diluted up to 50% with distilled water for a lighter finish.
White Bismuth
White Bismuth Patina produces an off-white finish on bronze, brass, and copper. It is applied hot (180-200�F) and may be diluted up to 50% with distilled water. White Bismuth is commonly used as a base patina for other hot patinas such as Ferric Nitrate.
