Default Anyone have any experience patinating copper?

I am interested in this, too. IIRC, from previous discussions, the green
color is from exposure to acid. Weak sulfuric, I believe. Common name,
muriatic acid.


Muriatic acid is hydrochloric, not sulfuric. They'll produce different colors.
Copper chloride is green, copper sulfate is blue.
