How can Copper Oxide patina (Green Copper) be achieved on Copper Surface

2005

Sir,

I am a small manufacturer of Copper patinated Sheets

I tried many times to patinate the Copper Sheets to a Green Color by using copper nitrate ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] .

Patination forms but wipes off by a touch of the hand.

Somebody suggested me to do Copper Oxidation by painting Copper Oxide on sheets.

Does this method work for Green Patination?

Please help

Thanks & best regards,

ammonium sulphate ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] ...90 gr
ammonia ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] (25%).......1 ml
water.............1 lit
Good luck!
