AVES Co Swellegant Patinas for Aged and Rustic Effects on Metal Coatings - Transform Your Designs with Rich Colored Patinas - Ideal for Metal-Coated Pieces, Darkening Patina - 2oz Bottle

Works great, very happy with results. Takes just a minute or two to achieve.

I soaked the hinge per the instructions and the solution dried up overnight and didn’t darken the hinge. I now need to go out and purchase a new one.Update: When I contacted the seller to let them know the product did not work on my item they responded I needed to use an additional two other items, I believe they stated a pre soak and sealer in order to make the item darker. I let them know I thought their response was a CYA response and they don’t stand behind their products. You cant return the item either since it’s considered hazardous. Lesson learned.

This doesn't do a sulphur or selenium reaction. It looks like a chemical nickel plate that is then converted to a ultra thin black layer that comes off with a paper towel. See pics, the top batch of smaller solid brass acorn nuts looks to be nickel plated now with a blue black tarnish. On the bottom is a standard brass darkening system from Rockler on slightly larger acorn nuts. Note the correct color and tarnish for a darkened brass. The solution has a precipitant in it that settles out immediately. It is bright blue and probably the source of the nickel. This stuff will ruin your brass so DO NOT USE IT. Would rate zero if I could

This works amazing!!! It took longer than expected for delivery, but the product itself I highly recommend! You also get fast results with very little product. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

great
