Brass/Tarnish

2000

You guys make think this is a strange one: In my apartment, I have brass switch plates that have a beautiful patina on them. I need to install some new switch plates, and I wonder if any of you know how I can cause the new (and untreated) brass switch plates to tarnish. Is there a chemical or process I can use to quicken the aging process for brass? Thanks. Philip Galanes
