More Information
Just add a few drops to hot water, mix and you’re ready to go.
A 1/4 teaspoon of gel is enough to make 177ml of strong patina solution.
Stir 1/4 teaspoon of patina gel into a glass or plastic container (not metal) with 175ml – 350ml of very hot (NOT boiling) water
Dip the articles into the solution, (suspend from a bent wire, or use gloves). Once you have the color you desire, remove the articles and soak in a neutralizing solution of water and baking soda for about 5 minutes. Rinse, dry and finish, to prevent the articles from darkening further.
Patina gel can be made as strong or as weak as needed. A lemon yellow colored mixture is a good starting point. Adjust the strength by using more or less.
You can also use it straight, by brushing it on and then dipping the piece in hot water.
Always work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves when using any liver of sulphur product!
CAUTION: It’s important that liver of sulphur solution never boils. If it does, toxic sulfur dioxide gas will be released. Also, never heat a patina-treated piece over an open flame, as this will also release the gas
