🔴 Patina Copper with only Heat

In this video I show how to patina or change the color of copper for projects using only the heat of a propane torch.

That is actually called flame painting. You can achieve a rainbow of colors with different temperature levels. I really like the red and blue.

This is not patina

[@edv9483]

A clear coat will hide the red colors

[@Rebelallowance]

that looks crazy

What’s thinner?

[@TheMoonlightCraftsman]

A solvent used to dilute paint or epoxy products. I used acetone here because it dries very fast. Mineral spirits would work. It is commonly called paint thinner. This will remove any oil residue from the metal that would affect the end result

Does this work with brass

[@TheMoonlightCraftsman]

Ya should get some similar effects

[@JackLeeTheFirst]

Would this work with a hairdryer? i know it sounds stupid but i am asking

[@TheMoonlightCraftsman]

Probably a heat gun would work

[@JackLeeTheFirst]

@@TheMoonlightCraftsman like for a sheet the size of a penny

[@TheMoonlightCraftsman]

One of the torch lighters at the gas station would work
