Letter 11015 Aging bronze and coloring copper without paints
Hi, I am looking for two formulas: 1. To age highly polished bronze figurines. 2. To convert the colour of copper from its natural colour (ie.copper) to a dull silvery ashen gray colour (ie. like an elephant hide colour). Since high flown fancy technologies are not available where I live in northern India, if some form of simple chemical wipe for both these issues is possible, I would be most grateful for your advice - these are required to re-work some Japanese copper/brass antique elephants that have been rescued from under layers of a dirty brown paint. Your earliest response is solicited please. Raninder S [name deleted for privacy due to age of

Hello Raninder, Just below the topic heading 6a:Hobbyists,... you will see FAQs:
click "patinas". This will get you started. I'd suggest purchasing a
book. The two main chemicals you will need are
Liver Of Sulphur
Good luck, Jake Koch
