Black Magic Patina
Black Magic Patina creates a beautiful, rich black patina on iron and steel. It takes only 3-5 minutes to develop and does not produce the quick rust that you normally see with other blackening agents. The first coat will be dark grey, but the finish will become black after a few coats. Rust will develop if a clear sealer is not applied to the completed finish.

Black Magic Patina works similarly on bronze, brass, and copper to darken the metal. On zinc and galvanized steel, it creates a weathered black patina. Black Magic Patina does not work on stainless steel or aluminum. It should not be diluted unless you are working on the Metal Coatings.

Blackened Aluminum Patina
Blackened Aluminum Patina reacts on aluminum and pewter. It is sold concentrated and should be diluted 10-50% with distilled water. Depending on the dilution amount and application method, it will develop a light grey to black patina. Apply at room temperature with a sprayer or in a bath (immersion).

Blackened Steel Patina
Blackened Steel Patina works on iron and steel. This is a concentrated patina and should be diluted before use. Typical dilution is 20-50% distilled water.

Midnight Black Patina
Midnight Black Patina reacts on aluminum, bronze, brass, copper, iron, steel (not stainless), and zinc/galvanized. This patina works quickly and has excellent durability. Rust is slower to develop compared to other black patinas which allows greater flexibility when applying a sealer. On aluminum (full strength), the first coat produces a fast grey/black finish. Additional coats create a solid black that does not rub off easily. On steel (full strength), one coat makes a blue/black oil slick finish. Extra coats darken the patina. On zinc/galvanized (full strength), the first application establishes a bronze/brown finish. Reapplication results in even more warm color with great adhesion. On bronze, brass, and copper (diluted 1:1 with distilled water), the first coat produces a beautiful brown patina. Second and third coats darken the patina to a rich antique black.

Slate Black Patina
Slate Black Patina is a versatile black finish for use on most metals. On iron and steel, it will produce a black patina with some brown showing through the finish. This is a fast 3-5 minute reaction that is arrested with water. Additional coats will darken the patina. Slate Black Patina can be diluted with distilled water for lighter coats.

Slate Black Patina will darken bronze, brass, and copper in a similar way. On zinc and galvanized steel, it will produce a dark brown to black patina. On aluminum, it must be applied hot (180-200deg F) and will create a brown finish. On stainless steel, it must also be applied hot and will produce a red, black, and brown patina.

Stainless Black Patina
Stainless Black Patina is made specifically for stainless steel. It is not recommended for other metals, but on zinc and galvanized steel, it can produce a red-brown or weathered black patina. On stainless steel, this patina will be blue grey at first and then darken as more coats are applied. Stainless Black Patina works best at full strength, but can be diluted with distilled water if desired.

Zinc Grey Patina
Zinc Grey Patina creates a grey or black patina on zinc or galvanized steel. The patina will be black and often mottled if applied at full strength. Dilution with distilled water is recommended for a smooth light grey finish. Layering the patina with multiple light coats will gradually darken the shade and allow you to control the uniformity of the finish.

Aged Copper
Aged Copper Patina reacts on bronze, brass and copper. It is concentrated and should be diluted to work properly. Typical dilution is 20-50% distilled water.

Antiquing
Antiquing Patina creates an aged brown to black finish on bronze, brass, and copper. On iron, steel, aluminum, and zinc, it will produce a grey to black patina. It should not be used on stainless steel. Antiquing Patina does not need to be diluted, but may be thinned with distilled water for a lighter finish. This cold patina is commonly used on the Metal Coatings and as a base for Traditional Green Patinas.

Copper Plate
Copper Plating Patina produces a copper finish on iron and steel. Applied cold, lighter coats will develop a salmon copper color while heavier coats will produce darker copper colors. Copper Plating does not work with the Metal Coatings or most other patinas such as Tiffany Green. However, it can be used as a base for the Traditional Torch Patina. Diluting should not be necessary with this formula.

Copper Rust
Copper Rust Patina causes a red to brown finish on bronze, brass, and copper. This cold patina should not need to be diluted. It will blacken iron and steel if applied hot. Copper Rust Patina does not work on the Metal Coatings.

Copper Sulfate
Copper Sulfate Patina creates a brown finish as a hot patina on bronze, brass, and copper. Applied cold, this patina will develop a copper color on steel and a grey finish on zinc. It does not need to be diluted before use.

Darkening
Darkening Patina is most commonly used cold on bronze, brass, and copper to produce a beautiful brown finish. This patina is often diluted with distilled water before use to lighten the color. Normal colors will range from golden brown to very dark brown (almost black). On iron and steel, Darkening Patina will create a grey to black finish. On zinc, this patina will also be black.

Deep Brown
Deep Brown Patina creates a slow reacting brown finish on bronze, brass, and copper. On iron and steel, it will produce a quick dark brown patina with greys and blacks. On zinc, the finish is a fast developing yellow brown. It should not be used on stainless steel. Deep Brown Patina does not need to be diluted, but may be thinned with distilled water for lighter coats or colors. Additional coats will darken the patina.

Ferric Nitrate
Ferric Nitrate Patina creates a transparent brown patina when applied hot to bronze, brass, and copper. It does not need to be dilutued before use. The final color is determined by the strength of the solution, amount applied, surface preparation, and the temperature of the metal during application. Lighter applications will be transparent golden brown. Additional coats will turn dark burgundy to brown and more opaque. Ferric Nitrate Patina is commonly used over a Liver of Sulfur base to produce a chocolate brown patina. On iron, steel, and zinc, Ferric Nitrate Patina is applied cold and takes hours to develop. On iron and steel, this process generates a stable orange rust. On zinc, the result is a yellow brown finish.

Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride
Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride Patina produces a transparent red brown finish when applied hot to bronze, brass, and copper. Similar to Ferric Nitrate Patina, the final color and opacity is determined by the application process. Additional coats will turn darker brown and more opaque. Ferric Nitrate/Ferric Chloride Patina does not need to be diluted before use.

Honeycomb
Honeycomb Patina causes a golden brown finish on iron, steel, aluminum, zinc, and stainless steel. On bronze, brass, and copper the patina is a warm brown. Honeycomb Patina is applied cold to all metals and should not be diluted before use. It will immediately cause a soft brass or light gold finish, but will take 3-5 minutes to fully develop with agitation depending on the surface. Multiple coats will produce a strong gold color.

Japanese Brown
Japanese Brown may be used on bronze, brass, and copper resulting in a golden brown finish, but it is most commonly used hot or cold on iron and steel. When applied cold to iron or steel, a brown rust will form. On heated iron or steel, a dark chocolate finish will result. Heat will darken the color as well as reduce mottling.

Liver of Sulfur
Liver of Sulfur is the classic darkening patina for bronze, brass, and copper. Depending on the surface, the strength of the solution, and the application method, it will produce a golden brown to a burgundy black patina. It is most commonly used as a base patina to increase contrast between light and dark areas. Liver of Sulfur may be used hot or cold and must be water rinsed to stop the reaction. To create the patina, combine 1 tsp. with 1 pint of distilled water. The solution will deteriorate rapidly so it is recommended to only mix enough for a day or so. Unused chunks should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry, and dark location.
