Not bad at all... but I need to build some patina on the 382... too new.

What’s the best fit the green buildup? Boiled egg? Ammonia? Vinegar?

There she is, haven’t seen her in a while.

Haha I've thrown her on a few times - I find I've had busy days most times I've worn it and just hit posted. Or posted on other sights. But it's definitely an eye catcher.love it

By oxidation on itself bronze with a patina that can turn a deep dark brown color over time. If the ability is enriched with sulfuric acid, it becomes - as with copper - the poisonous verdigris.:biggrin:

I did this with salt water and ammonia.

Use a LOT of salt. I would coat the case in salt water then add a little salt to the case directly. The salt is what gives you the green.

Then I'd put it in the container with the ammonia fumes for 45 min to 2 hours.

And even if you do this and adjust to it for a day or two only to decide "I'd like to try and get more green" you can always repeat the process.
