Tin figure patina gray 1 liter

Made in Germany

Patina, especially for figurine pewter.

The newly cast pewter figures and decorative parts are lightly sanded with fine steel wool (e.g. references 345949, 334834, 334833), then patinated.
To do this, the patina is painted on all sides with a soft brush (e.g. references 336276, 336275, 359109). Make sure that the patina does not run off the pewter part, so move the brush on it until the pewter object is covered with an even shade of gray / black. Then hold it under running tap water and thereby stop the oxidation. After drying, the surface can be rubbed again with steel wool in the areas that should appear lighter. In order to preserve the color, the part can be carefully painted over with a brush stained with oil and thus protected.

Color: gray / black tint
Content: 1000ml

NOTICE:
Due to the ban on the sale of tin alloys below 98% Sn (Sn = symbol for the chemical element tin), this patina has been so effectively revised that it causes the desired dark oxidation primarily for alloys above 50% Sn.
If this were now applied to a tin alloy containing a lot of lead, which was previously used for figure casting, it would appear almost black on it. This could be reduced by adding a few drops of distilled water to the required amount of patina: This can reduce the intensity of the patina effect. This is of course also generally applicable if a lighter patina is desired.

For tin alloys below 50% Sn, Tiffany patina black (our reference 361846) could be used as an alternative, which then turns this alloy very strong and intense black.

We are glad that we can still offer you pewter patins, as there are hardly any companies that manufacture them today.

With our patina, tin sheets and veneers can also be darkened evenly.
