Ian Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 I need to tarnish or antique a few brass double cap rivets to match the rest of the hardware on a project (no time to order antique brass rivets). Anyone know a quick and easy was to get a little tarnish going? Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 5, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 5, 2008 The tarnish is just a little layer of oxidation, so anything that accelerates that should work.

Yellowish brown to orange/red for brass 100 gm cooper sulphate 5o gm sodium chlorate 1 lit water Hot immersion (9oC)! or acetic acid will also work.
