Black Patina Recipe

Hi,

I live in Hawaii and we are having problems getting patina shipped here. The chemicals in the product make the shipping costs much more than the product itself. Do you have any recipes so I can make my own patina?

Hi Rhonda,

There is no recipe for black patina that I know of. However you can make your own copper patina.
The recipe for copper patina can be found Here. It is near the bottom of the page.

Once you make copper patina, apparently it can be turned into black patina according to another person the did some experimenting. You can find that information Here. It is in the comments section. I know nothing more about it than what he said, so I can't guarantee the results. However it's worth a try.
