Neglected Patina Zinc Table Top
by Diane
Answer I'm not an expert on zinc tables, only zinc came used in stained glass work. However, if it was came, I'd use steel or bronze wool to clean it up. I don't know if there is really patina on it or if it's a natural patina the comes with age. The steel or bronze wool will remove whatever is on it and you will end up with (hopefully) a bright shiny table top. There is a black patina for zinc, but I honestly don't know the results you'd get with it. You might be best off to leave it it's natural color. If it is a natural patina, it will, over time, return to the color you want. |

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 |
