Vanilla Mod Patina

[Viper_SA]

The finish came off on my previous patina, and it didn't look that great anyway, so I decided to play a bit over the last week. Just had a fresh coat of polyurethane on these pics.

Ran out of polyurethane, and can't find any in Sasolburg now. Will just do the final finish next weekend.

"Thou shalt not apply Spraymate clear lacquer over Rustoleum PU"...... Blistered the whole patina to hell
Rework next weekend I suppose

So, after the previous two finishes not working out, I had some time yesterday to redo the patina, and finished with a different product this morning. Will leave well alone for at least two days to thoroughly dry, wet sand if needed and apply the final coat.

Thats the effect I was looking for on my brass tank mount, I got lots of dark brown patches instead, bleh!
Awesome job mate.

I used the #18 purple formula from scientific co: http://www.sciencecompany.com/Do-It-Yourself-Patina-Formulas-W12C672.aspx#index
Falkesalt with the pyramid crystal shape, glacial acetic acid and ammonia, just couldnt find sal ammoniac so left that out.
