Bronze
& Blackening Solution
For use on Copper and Silver.
Mix 1-2 fluid oz of Concentrate to 1 gal water depending
on degree of effect required. Use at room temperature. Dip
item into solution for 5-10 seconds, longer for darker
effect. Rinse to stop coloring effect.
Varying the solution strength and the time of immersion
can produce an almost infinite range of shades.
For the ‘French Grey’ effect on silver, scratch-brush
or buff the high spots to expose the underlying silver.
Add 1 fl oz Household ammonia to preserve the mixed
solution.
