Make Copper Patina Really Shiny on Stained Glass

This video will explain how to add copper patina to the solder of your stained glass projects and also how to polish them to show off their brilliant copper finish.
The piece of glass used in this demo was made to explain the importance of centering your foil. If you would like to learn more about this topic, you can read my blog post "Applying Copper Foil to Stained Glass" here: livingsunglass.com/apply-copp...

Thank you for such a clear, concise video!! I want ot see more of how you do things!!

I was told never to wash copper patina off with water, you just dry it off with papertowel then buff with finishing compound Before you start patina rub with steel wool triple 0 it helps with the copper being shinier when polished 😊😊

Thankyou Sam

Mind blown! I was never taught about the polish before. No wonder I didn't like the way the copper patina looked when I used it. Thank you so much for demonstrating it. Can this also be used on other colours of patina (eg., black)?

[@joyargow]

Do you wax them to help them hold the colour and not oxidize over time?

Hi, great video! I have a project that I just finished and the copper patina looks splotchy. It is really brilliant copper in a few areas but dull and dark in others. After you polish it (which I did) can you go back and reapply patina? Also I noticed you did not steel wool at all? I did, could that be a problem? Thank you

Could be a problem with your water. There are other videos that address that
