: : I am restoring some lead came pieces and want to know the best way to clean it in order to apply patina. I was told that older pieces of lead came was covered with linseed oil. If that is true does anybody have advice on how to clean the came? I have been wire brushing it with a dremel tool but am a bit afraid of creating lead dust. Any suggestions?

: Why are you cleaning the came? Patina contains acids and should not be used in restoration. The lead gets the oil as a by product of the putty process.

Let me see if I understand. I should not patina the new lead came? Do I rub it with the putty to add the color or do I leave it in its natural state? This also makes me ask the following question. Should I never patina lead came?
