White Residue on Patina

I made a set of suncatchers for my daughter's school as a fundraiser. I hurriedly finished them (patina included)and left on vacation. Ten days later I came home to find a white residue in the patina. It is not just on surface but also in crevices, cracks, etc. After reading your lesson, I think I can avoid it next time by better clearning, but how can I remove this residue and make them sellable?

Answer

The best way to get rid of the white residue is to remove the patina with bronze wool or very fine steel wool. Once the patina is off, follow the instructions on the Patina Tutorial.
