Sea Hoss Posted December 21, 2018 #1 Posted December 21, 2018 Been working on this for approx. 10 months, this is the progression as of today. Never expected to post these so they're not very detailed or high quality. Tigersteve, Dubz, Peter Bloemendaal and 10 others 13 Quote Current: Emma C.

b dylan Posted January 21, 2019 #9 Posted January 21, 2019 That looks very nice. What technique did you use to weather the copper plates? They look great.

Sea Hoss Posted January 21, 2019 Author #10 Posted January 21, 2019 I used equal parts: plain white vinegar, household ammonia, table salt, lemon juice. I got this method and recipe from: www.wikihow.com/Age-Copper. There are quite a few different ways to age copper, this one worked well for me. Tape off everything but the copper, brush on the mixture, cover and let sit over-night. If not dark enough, repeat process, then clean with window cleaner. Hope it works for you. russ 1 Quote Current: Emma C.
