how do i age shiny brass to make it look old ? (without waiting a long time) :) |
| DMIOM:
Both ammonia and vinegar will have an effect, also many commercial formulations available - just Google for Patina Solution for Brass. However you do it, to get complete coverage its critical that you thoroughly degrease the workpiece first. |

The 'antique shop' rascals make new ones look old by lightly covering them in soil (about 3 inches) then regularly peeing on that patch for a few weeks. This may or may not appeal as a solution :clap: |

Train a cat to pee on it. Cat pee is stronger than human pee. The hard part is training a cat :scratch: |
