Thanks for responding so quickly Gary. Yes, you are correct I am heavy handed with the flux. I'm a new guy on the block so I'm learning the hard way. I used Novacan patina. I guess I'll try again. I hope I don't ruin my nice piece I worked so hard on it. I was told that for black patina I should leave my project overnight after I've soldered it and scrubbed it clean. Then the next day put the patina on. Also, should I put it on with a Qtip or something or do what I did with the other one .....I scrubbed it on with a tooth brush, waited a few minutes then rinsed and washed. This time I'll try and go lightly with the flux too.
Thanx Chris
