Can you please give the grit of the 3M disc you used to add a "tooth" to your piece before the liver of Sulphur. Thanks.
Great, you pointed out the step I was missing, I’m just wondering why your tongs didn’t go black though ?
Thank you. That was very clearly explained. I’m taking a jewelry class and need to patina a copper piece. I have a question: Do patinas, like the one you demonstrated, take away the copper smell and the tendency that copper can have to mark the skin when oxidized? Thanks again. PS. How long does the patina last. PPS. I like Tequila too 😊
I see you are contaminating the sulpher solution with neutralizer as you are using the same tweezers for the three steps
Is there something you can use besides baking soda?
At 10:04 you say "it won't happen on brass", but brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, surely it would work on brass, yes?
Hello,
Here is a link to an article that talks about different kinds of metal and how to patina on them. ruclips.net/video/b160j_DXgRw/видео.html
Liver of sulphur does darken brass. I’ve used it before.
Hi, I am also in Houston and I would love to have some Patina (Artificial Aging) on some of my silver and copper coins. I would love to bring out the details from the high spots :)
Hello, you can find the Patina used in this video here: www.cooltools.us/Patina-Gel-Stabilized-Liver-of-Sulfur-s/501.htm
Thanks for watching!
I bought a 3 mm sterling silver round box chain to hang some old pendants I already have. The chain came very shiny and new looking so I wanted to get a nice patina on it. For some reason the chain turned a rainbow blue. What did I do wrong? Can I fix it?
Do it longer. That should help ya. Or throw some heat on it!
Would it work with metal copper snaps on a hoodie? And is it safe to put it in the washing machine afterwards?
It will work, yes but washing it in the washing machine after would be problematic as the patina would likely come off.
So what do you use to seal your finished project? A spray on lacquer?
Hello, we asked Jan your question and she replied: The patina - depending on what it is on-can be sealed with a wax- renaissance or most any- or a spray lacquer. If I have thoroughly scrubbed the piece and the patina was applied carefully, it really does not come off or change much - even in the Houston humidity!
Did I miss how the first piece was finished? I would like to know.
Hi Laura, you can see how the first piece was finished by watching the video here: www.cooltools.us/Video-Enameling-Techniques-Tube-Riveting-s/2596.htm
Have a good day!
Tequila me too!
No patina from liver of sulfur on brass? Why? There is a lot of copper there!
Will the pmc tarnish like typical sterling? Can you prevent that by sealing it?
Hello, once metal clay is fired it will tarnish like any other silver. Yes, sealing a piece can prevent tarnishing. Hope this helps!
Love the..
