Traditional Black

Sculpt Nouveau have produced the Traditional Black range of Patinas to work on a multitude of different metals. These are acid based solutions which will alter the surface of the metal, creating different tones and colours. You may achieve varying black tones from light grey, soft black, through to dark and rich blacks. The majority of the patinas are processed via cold application, but there are a few that must be applied hot. There may also be a recommendation to use full strength or diluted.

Examples of application techniques include spraying, brushing, sponging, layering and dip/immersion. Each technique will provide a different finish, and there may be a preferred method for a particular patina, so please refer to the product for more information.
