vance71975 As I was doing the clear coat removal using vinegar and the copper ear wires had started to patina in some spots due to the vinegar soak, the patina had some really pretty colors, very different from the liver of sulfur black. So your tutorials were well timed because they explain the rainbow colors being tied specifically to the vinegar. I knew there were all these different recipes, I just haven’t tried any of them yet.

Glad it helped! I got a really awesome blue/green Patina on a Copper vape mod with it that was killer once i clear coated it.

Here's a really good place to check out Sculpt Nouveau. They have a spray clear coat & lots of patinas. I've used their products for some years. Patty

I had the same problem with silver. The blackening solution was made by my fellow chemist (he is a great specialist in jewelry chemistry). Likewise, silver became mottled after patination. To avoid this, I diluted the solution with distilled water 1:2 (this is the ratio for my solution) and heated it to a temperature of about 50 degrees. It has a great black patina. Therefore, I advise you to experiment with concentration and temperature. Of course, degreasing is a must.
