Please help me. I have tried many suggestions for getting copper patina to look like copper without much success. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Jo
: Hi Kathy,
: You will get your best results with any patina if you do it asap after the soldering is done.
: Perhaps you could patina the whole panel except for the places that will need to be soldered on site, then give a vigorous cleaning to the little bits that were left undone before applying the patina.

: : Very interesting about the black patina. What about copper? I am doing an 8" window and need solder it in sections, bring to the site and then solder the whole thing together. This might take a couple of days. I only have an hour or two per day to work on this project. Any suggestions and I was wondering if I could wait before I patina. Thanks for any help!
