Black patina for copper foil
by Larry Irwin
Answer Hi Larry, Since writing the original tutorial, I have found that the wax won't cause a problem. It will remove any oxidation that could cause a problem with the patina "taking". I just finished a project and used black patina. I now wax before using black patina, and it came out a beautiful black. I have added a note on the tutorial about wax and black patina. I added some white vinegar to the black patina. I didn't measure anything, but it was probably about four tablespoons of patina and one tablespoon of vinegar. As I said, the black came out a beautiful deep black. I'm sorry that if I caused you any confusion. |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
