Ave!
Deller's Darkener is a vasoline-like product that will restore an aged-like look to copper-based coinage.
If you are like me, you sometimes goof-up and cut too close through your ancient coin's patina. Just rub in a small amount of the product with your fingers, and "voila", the shine is gone. Trust me! And, if you have the patience (as you should) set the coin in direct sunlight for at least one week. You'll be amazed at how well it turns out.
I also use this product to soften up hard, crumbly patinas. Continue to apply the product until the shine goes away, then hit it with a dental pick. Once again, you be amazed!
FYI - This product may be not the final solution for all your re-patination problems...but it is a great place to start. |
