Green Patina- 2 Oz.

This works amazingly easy and looks fabulous, totally controllable. The saxophone was delacquered then using Jax to do a forced patina. Be sure to clean the bare brass so it’s free of oils and avoid handling the brass so you don’t get anything from your hands on it otherwise that might be an area where the solution won’t take as well.

It really does work. It took a few coats, but it turned raw copper to green.

Worked very well to "age" a brand new 2" pewter owl figurine that was too shiny and silver-looking for my taste. I put the figurine in the Jax liquid for about 20-30 seconds. The chemical reaction started within a second or two and looked like brownish rust. Since it was my first time ever doing this I didn't know what to expect, and was waiting for the brownish stuff to turn black but it just became a darker brown. At that point, using needle-nose pliers as tongs, I took the owl out of the liquid and began rinsing and rubbing it under cool running water (I wore disposable nitrile gloves). As the brown stuff rinsed away I could see the patina left behind was in fact a dark gray (whew!!). With the figurine still under running water, I used Q-Tips to further rub off the chemical that had settled into the nooks and crannies. In the future I would leave the pewter object in the liquid for less time since came out a tad darker than I would have liked, but I do prefer it to how it looked originally. Considering this was my first time doing anything like this I am quite happy with the results.

I ordered this product to help get a green patina finish on some old metal. I tried it and I actually had a good experience with virgin. My piece looked like it was aged naturally. I’m finding more pieces to use bit on!

Works great when used as directed. I have used this to repatinate "plough dings" and remade pins on ancient Roman and Celtic fibulae. It is barely noticeable.
