I was going to show off my new Bronzo but we had an early morning drizzle in Brisbane, and now she looks like this...

Sweet - how did you achieve that patina?

Start from very clean and pure bronze

Amonia gas chamber combined with 3 different salts
Take out; cape cod polish
put back in but this time heat the chamber to 40c’
the same again; use ketchup in parts to clean patina I did not like, and recycle this step a few more times. Coat with sea salt at the end and blow off when done. I left a couple of crystals on there because I liked the look

Nice science project. Do you have a safe way of making an ammonia chamber at home?

Most ways are safe [thankfully]. I did exhale a lot of it though. Risk it for the biscuit my young Padawan

Looks like it spent some time at the bottom of the ocean...

Finally got myself a Bronzo to!!

Got it via M2M 3 weeks ago and was a bit dark:

So did a lemon juice bath:

It came out way more pink then expected:

Did the lemon bath again and then polished it with Cape Cod.
It was way to shiny but left it that way to develop its own patina.

Ended up with this which I’m pretty happy with.
Here on used rep cracked leather:

And it’s already becoming darker again.
