Black Patina Mixture
Answer Use only vinegar or salt, not both together. None of this is an exact science, so it will take a bit of experimenting on your part. Start with 1/8 cup patina or however much you think you'll be using for the one project. You will dispose of the remainder of the batch. Also, use 1 tsp vinegar, not 1 TBSP, and see how that works. You can always add more if you need to. The same goes for the salt. Start with 1/2 tsp. If that isn't making the patina darker, add a bit more. It's a good idea to keep records so that once you have it right you won't have to experiment each time. I'm sorry that I can't be more specific. Perhaps someone reading this has a proven "recipe" that they use and would be willing to share with us.

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 |
