hello. Im doing gilding with copper on glass,, to get an antique mirror effect ,,,, any advise about this material _ is it copper acting the same as gold or silver.? ,,, thanks !
I have antiqued copper leaf by exposing it to ammonia fumes for various amounts of time. It works well, and quite quickly. You must enclose the leaf in a sealed area. Put the ammonia in a dish near the leaf. the fumes will do the rest. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN WHEN DOING THIS PROCEDURE. Wear a respirator, and eye protection.
