With the copper, I used a mix of 2 cups- vinegar, 1 1/2 cups- salt, and 3 tablespoons- baking soda (add extremely slowly). With that mix, and applying it twice a day, this was the result. Drench in water once you’ve achieved your end result. I cleared 4 times on each side to lock in the patina. Good luck with your project.
And thank you for the compliments. It’s been a labor of love.
