Obtaining an Antique green patina on a old brass bed
Q. I want to obtain an antique green finish on an old brass bed...that I saw on HGTV that was accomplished by "soaking" the brass hardware in ammonia [on eBay or Amazon] for 10-14 days....MY dilemma is...the bed is tooo big to soak ....how can I still accomplish this process....maybe wrap in ammonia soaked towels.....? Please advise.

A. You can use next solution:
20 gm copper acetate [affil links]
20 gm ammonium chloride
1 lit vinegar
[in bulk on
eBay or
Amazon]
Good luck!
