Copper Patina

by Donna
(Lowell, MA)

Prior to reading your article I applied copper to a piece I was repairing. Needless to say, the new solder looks black and the old is a copper color. Is there any way to fix this? thank you, for your assistance. Donna

Answer

Hi Donna,

You can remove the new copper patina with very fine steel wool. Then follow my instructions on the Patina page. You can use the wax on the entire panel if you want. It will brighten up the old patina and it should make the whole panel look as good as new.

 Patina removal
by: Orlando

I am trying to remove patina (Green) from a very old overhand entrance. Can someone help as to how or what should I use to remove it and restore the copper, thanks.

Thank you for asking the question, but I believe you are asking about the metal copper and that is out of our area of expertise.

If you are asking about a stained glass window, use very fine steel wool or, better yet, bronze wool to remove it.
