Copper Patina Problem

Post by CleanCutCreations »

I just got my first order in from SteelFX. I've seen nothing but positive post about them, so I figured I'd give it a try.

My problem is, that the Copper is coming out almost pink like.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Call the seller he posts here and may pick up this post, but the direct method is better, I'm sure help is there.

If the COPPER F/X™ patina is a "pink" color, that is the result of only one thing: Your steel is not shiny enough. What are you using to polish/brighten your steel surfaces?
