This formula produces a Matt Grey Green patina on your surface like the one below.
Last Updated: 08/02/2010
Here is the formula:
1 oz. Ammonium Chloride
1 oz. Cupric Chloride
1 oz. Cupric Sulfate
1 oz. Cupric Carbonate
1 Pint Distilled Water
It takes about three hours for this patina to work.
Note that the formula above is quite concentrated. You may want to dilute it with a third more water. Allow this patina to sit for at least six hours before spraying it with a lacquer. Remember that you need to apply two coats of lacquer before waxing (let lacquer cure for six hours).
