Patina formulas for copper, brass and bronze

The nice guys at The Science Company said we could reprint their patina recipes. Remember to spot test a small piece first, and don't come crying to us or to them if you're careless with your chemicals! Also, if you use a recipe, consider using them as a supplier to thank them for sharing. 1. Light to Dark Brown 2. Brown to Black 3. Blackish Brown
