Iridescent Bronze Patina for Zinc Sheets

This is an 8 ounce bottle of the Iridescent Bronze Patina for Zinc Sheets. With this incredible product you can add an amazing array of different shades and textures to your zinc. Iridescent Bronze gives your zinc a warm, golden brown coloring with hints of a rainbow of other colors. This patina can be applied with a variety of methods and concentrations. In order to patina your zinc, first clean the surface with denatured alcohol or acetone to insure that it is free of oil, oxides, and plating residue as these will greatly affect the patina. To dilute the solution, add distilled water until you receive the desired concentration. You may then apply the patina by using spray bottles, brushes, or sponges or by burnishing the zinc with an abrasive pad. Once you have achieved the desired finish, you should seal your zinc with one of our sealants. Please note that the color and vary greatly depending on different factors, such as concentration, brush strokes and method of application. Depending on how concentrated you make your solution, we generally recommend one bottle of Iridescent Bronze Patina per sheet. In order to determine how concentrated you want your patina and how you would like to apply it, we encourage you to order some extra zinc on which to practice your application techniques. WARNING: Due to the nature of product, some scratches and blemishes should be expected. Metal sheets, just like their antique counterparts, may contain a certain amount of flaws, smudges, and scratches especially after shipping. Most of these marks can be buffed out using 0000 Steel Wool once the sheet is installed.
