BenjaminButton 149 Posted September 3, 2019 That is some great patina you have there, including some spots of Verdi Gris ... did you help the patina process along with some chemical wizardry? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I have cleaned her off and used the hard boiled egg and also ammonia techniques a few times. I lightly clean off some of the excess green with a toothbrush and lemon juice to get a very nice patina effect. When RWI comes back up I will have access to my photos again to show the way I did it. I will post it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenjaminButton 149 Posted September 4, 2019 @yllekp many thanks for that insight. Tempting to have a go on my Tudor bronze but with the bezel insert to contest with I think a bit more research is required on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not think the ammonia will effect the insert but do not take my word for it please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
