Patina, pt 2
« on: July 08, 2009, 01:10:00 PM »
Here is what Chris did,
Use a paper towel and prepared yellow mustard.

Coat your coin with mustard and let dry 24 hrs,

Use water to rinse and clean off,after 24 hrs, might need a toothbrush to get dried mustard off.

Repeat coating and cleaning for 6 days.

On the 7th day drip water on coin and let dry in the sun.

Clean her up and you should have something close to the 4th picture

Thanks again Chris
You should post pictures of your knife thats a beauty

I did puddle water on it each morning before work, and let it dry in the window seal each day till I got the color I wanted.I may need to get a couple more coins from you Kurt to see about repeating the process. That was just the fist stab at it...
