White Patina Wanted

Help!

I am in desperate need of a white patina for bronze...they assure me there is such thing but we cannot find a recipe.

I think "they" may be kidding you or be misinformed; I can't find any reference to such a thing. Tom guesses there may possibly have been an old cadmium-based formulation, but if so you couldn't use it these days anyway. It's probably actually a paint, lacquer, or electrophoretic coating.

After looking at my other reference, I withdraw the cadmium suggestion, I was mixing up finishes.

We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
