PATINA ACCESSORIES

PATINA PAL

You will be amazed at how well this little gem works!

PATINA PAL

Clean your solder seams with the brass Patina Pal with a neutralizing cleaner such as CJ's Flux and Patina Cleaners before applying your patina. The brass pad scrubs your solder clean helping to remove any oxidation while leaving behind no residue. Far superior to steel wool which can leave tiny bits of steel behind that then rust or turn your black patina brown. Lasts and lasts.

$2.28

STAINED GLASS FINISHING COMPOUND

Use this as the finishing touch for your stained glass piece. Especially formulated by Clarity Designs, it is the result of a long search for the perfect cleaning, waxing and polishing agent for stained glass work. It polishes your patinated work (gives copper patina the look of a shiny penny) and leaves a wax finish to prevent tarnishing. 12 oz. squeeze bottle, lasts a long time. You may have heard of this product under the name "Kem-O-Pro".

Order #0993
$12.99

NOVACAN STAIN REMOVER

Every now and then you may come upon a glass that is sensitive to the ingredients in patinas. The front surface may haze or even look lightly iridized. If this ever happens to you, this is the stuff you need to fix it. We have also used this to remove the filmy effect caused by storing glass for long periods wrapped or separated by paper with a high acid content. Very effective stuff. Supplied in an 8 oz bottle.

No Air or Mail shipments

FLUX BRUSHES

Also called acid brushes, are used to apply flux, patina, silver protector etc.  Always use a clean brush for each project.  Never go from your flux container to your patina bottle with the same brush.  Order:

  • INDIVIDUAL FLUX BRUSHES

  • BUNDLE OF 12 FLUX BRUSHES
    Order #07802

HELPFUL HINTS
  • When using Patina, it is always a good idea to wear gloves.
  • Pour a small amount of patina into a small jar. Use a clean flux brush to apply patina to your solder seams. For best results, do not pour any left over patina back into the bottle.
  • Never park your brush in your patina. The patina will react with the metal of the brush and you will see erratic results.
  • When you are finished, clean up with CJ's or Kwik Clean, then polish and protect with Stained Glass Finishing Compound.
