part 2c: when ammonia met salt (patina on copper)

[@shewmonohoto]

I generally can't watch videos with computer generated voiceovers, but, DAMN this was too good to pass up! (Subscribed)

[@donaldvonburen5932]

Best video I've ever seen 👏

[@sockpuppetbitme]

Urine made me some awesome patinas on copper. The type of beer you've been drinking makes for some cool differences, too.

[@emmelinein4331]

Hello - amazing video, I was wondering how would you make sure all of these patinas stay on, onthe long term - do you then wax them? I would like to patina a sculpture that would live outside how to ensure longer years with that color would you know? Many thanks, E

[@suuris1]

Hi, Many thanks for the video. I trying to make a patina for old brass coins and did some tests whith ammonia in the past without good results. You got good results at Your experiment. My question is does this patina stick strongly to the metal? Will is come of easily by scratching? Thanks!

[@joelprestonsmith]

High Sterical. And informative. Thank you.

I have had excellent results making copper patina with the soy sauce and ammonia method, but at the end of the process I want to seal it to protect the patina. I tried spray lacquer but it darkened the lovely aqua patina and turned some of it brown. Any suggestions for a sealant? Much appreciated!

[@audrachristine5044]

I put patinas on long rifle shells, and then spray them with a shellac, or sometimes just an acrylic clearcoat spray, and they both work well. However, the majority of the shells are brass. There was one copper one once and it still worked… just don’t do it when it’s humid.

[@LaoZi2023]

This was soo funny! "got...painterly..." Lol! Great experimenting.

Hi there. What is the ammonia concentration you are using? Have you done any study regarding concentration vs cook time? Most household ammonia is 5-10% con. Great video. 👍

[@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355]

Hello, I'm using house hold ammonia (Canadian) - not sure of the concentration, as the bottle does not state. No, I've not played around with different concentrations - but I'm sure it would make a difference. If you give it a go... be sure to let us know. nicole.

it is very informative, thank you

Excellent!! Thank you!!

Love these videos. Thanks, it's just what I needed to learn.

[@DianneCulbertsonJacques]

Will the soy sauce work on brass as well as copper?

[@shelleysechrist508]

Great video! Thank you.

[@ritamontalvo6195]

Do you close/cover the bowl ?

[@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355]

yes, cover the fume chamber.... you want it to full with Ammonia Fumes.... I have a sheet of plexiglass over it (instead of the lid), so I can film the patina forming. Cheers, Nicole.

[@paulawood4802]

Awesome video - THANKS!

I am wanting a more aqua color on steel. Any suggestions?

[@markartinVA]

Cool video and ideas. Just a thought: I think spelling it “poolage” would be more consistent with the rules of grammar.

[@bradthayer6782]

Beading, caused by surface tension. But great video.

Will this work with gold foil ?

[@GracetheHufflepuff]

Is ammonia the base in the bottom for each of these?

[@jackiemoyer4706]

I would like to know this as well....like the soy sauce one, is the paper towel soaked in ammonnia on the bottom??

[@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355]

Hello Grace, Yes the base is ammonia for all of my patinas. Nicole.

​@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355 copper nitrate crystal water solution "sprayed on with spray thingie" and heat with flame torch will do this in 10min. Your welcome! I have video evidence. Your video is very creative! Love it. How did you make it? You can make copper nitrate by disoloving copper in NH3 (be careful). Leave it over night and wait for chrystals to form... the next morning there will be a solution with chrystals and unreached copper. Take the copper chrystals out and add acid nitric acid until copper has turned to Chrystal. Remember mix the chrystals you have now made with water. Spray! Heat with flame.

[@shelleywilliamson2396]

This was so amazing! loved the classroom interaction! Q - when you 'got painterly' what paint did you use? many thanks,

[@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355]

Hello Shelley, There is no paint involved when making Patinas. When I got "painterly" I simply used a paint brush to move the patina juices around, so they would not pool. Also this offers different patina effects. I hope that makes sense? Nicole.

[@justinline7884]

@@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355 Is that vinegar in the cup? There is definitely some liquid in the cup the brush is sitting in.

[@ethereal369]

You really don't want to use ammonia with vinegar. Using them together results in a dangerous release of toxic chlorine gasses.

[@gregames8872]

This is incorrect. You’re probably confusing this with the dangers of mixing ammonia and bleach, which can produce chloramines (which are toxic). But there is no source of chlorine in a reaction involving ammonia and acetic acid.

[@2001dag]

Poolige is not actually a word.

[@creatinglinusonlineschoolo8355]

A word becomes a word when people start using it.... I bet we could get it into the Urban Dictionary... shall we give it a go?
