angus:
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:

I would have thought it would be a paste rather than a solution!!

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