Black Patina

by Maureen
(Benicia, CA)

I was taught that you had to neutralize black patina. Is that true? Would I just rinse with the sudsy ammonia after applying the black patina?

Answer

No...don't rinse it. Patina does not take kindly to water. Pat off the excess patina with a paper towel. Let it air dry then polish with wax.

 Black Patina - rinsing advice NEW
by: Charlene

Sue, I really appreciate all your advice, but now I'm confused--in your tutorial, you said to rinse after applying black patina. In the response to the latest question, you advised not to rinse. Can you clarify. Thanks.


Reply

Hi Charlene,

Sorry about that. I'm working with a foggy brain...just home from the hospital and on pain medication.

To clairfy though, lately I haven't been rinsing the black patina and it's coming out just fine.

I'll make an ammendment to my tutorial when I have a chance. However, it looks like either way works, so do whichever works best for you.

Sue

Are Saying

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
