Oh my I will definitely try it - thank you so much - so am guessing you go through the usual process afterwards - put in warm water with baking soda to stop the oxidization then rinse and scrub and then seal. This was awesome. I thank you so much Lili- I will re-watch your complete video when you used liver of sulfur because you go through the whole process - How to Polish and Finish Copper Jewellery

Thanks so much Teresa. I had heard that the sulphur from eggs might work, but I had never seen a demo. I would have thrown away the eggs and tried the egg shells! :) Savenana x

You're welcome! I was fairly sceptical, but it definitely does work. I think it would be even better left a bit longer, too.

I understand the fumes coming off the yolks is sulphery. I wonder if you put a glass container in the oven just hot enough to keep the eggs steamy will cause something differnt. The copper will be hot and so will the fumes I find with LOS if I keep the copper warm it stains better. I use a steel cookie sheet, and heat it to 160F the coins i'm aging look original antique

To me, the egg method didn't get the piece black. Is the egg method permanent? Do you have to us steel wool? Can you re-patina a piece you did with the egg method? ❤😊
@christinekaye63935 жыл бұрын
Once polished, will the copper stay that way or will it eventually turn green?
@LilyTree5 жыл бұрын
Unless the copper is sealed, it will continue to oxidise - although my pieces have always turned brown rather than green (I think verdigris tends to happen in outdoor conditions) You can, of course, repolish the pieces to bring the finish back to how you want it. Or seal the pieces to protect them from that natural oxidisation. My current favourite sealant to use is ProtectaClear from Everbrite.

Metti poi una protezione trasparente sopra per far durare la patina ? Grazie per la condivisione
@LilyTree7 жыл бұрын
Prego! Sì, la sigillatura del pezzo proteggerà da ulteriore ossidazione. In caso contrario, il pezzo continuerà a patina, ma sarà possibile ripulirlo nuovamente.

@LilyTree7 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure. I expect the heat might help the sulphur get around, but you don't want any steam condensing on your pieces. So I used them warm. I would anticipate that if they were cold it would take longer, but should still yield a similar result.
@Maggioretom12 күн бұрын
Hi. This is due to the sulphurous compounds in the yolk. Try to overcook them: the more you cook, the more the amount of the compounds increase. Try cooking them for 15 or 20 mins and see what happens! Bye!

Should you apply a coating so the patina does not rub off on your skin or clothing?
@LilyTree6 жыл бұрын
I haven't had much problem with patina rubbing off, although I usually used liver of sulphur, rather than the eggs! But it is worth giving your copper some protective coating anyway, to prevent natural patina over time. My favourite at the moment is Protectaclear by Everbrite.

Just bear in mind that many of us allergic to most types of sealants, so it might not work for your customers.

I don't see the point of this when it doesn't stay. Everything just wipes off. You'd have to seal it somehow, and I don't know how.
