Sculpt Nouveau Traditional Ferric Nitrate Patina

Ferric Nitrate Patina creates a transparent brown patina when applied hot to bronze, brass, and copper. It does not need to be diluted before use. The final colour is determined by the strength of the solution, amount applied, surface preparation, and the temperature of the metal during application. Lighter applications will be transparent golden brown. Additional coats will turn dark burgundy to brown and opaquer. Ferric Nitrate Patina is commonly used over a Liver of Sulphur base to produce a chocolate brown patina. On iron, steel, and zinc, Ferric Nitrate Patina is applied cold and takes hours to develop. On iron and steel, this process generates a stable orange rust. On zinc, the result is a yellow brown finish.

Traditional Brown Patinas are available in 8oz., and 32 oz. sizes. Spray tops are included with 8oz. and 32oz. bottles. One gallon of Traditional Brown Patina generally covers 200 sq. ft.
