You already had it.
Just use instant patina from the glass house, and leave it alone.
Sure its only skin deep and you can buff it off easy.
But just leave it alone, and let it work.
In the proper number of months, or years, you will have the real
patina back.
Meanwhile the instant patina, liver of sulphur, is kind of like
starter yeast.
I have made "dark gray" which is the proper term from liver of
sulphur color,
on many articles, both ferrous and non ferrous alike.
The tricks are................
#1 Cleaning.
The article has to be clean beyond sanity. That includes you
and your filthy sink. heh heh
Then apply the solution, leave on for no more than one minute, then
rinse it back off with clean water, thoroughly.
Examine and look for "holidays" (this means places the solution omitted)
and clean with steel wool that is degreased,
#2 Repetition.
Do this until you are satisfied.
So, go again.
Do not remove your rubber gloves while you do this.
The worst scuzzbucket in the room, is you.
You are not allowed contact with the metal for now.
You take your gloves off and fondle it when you are done.
See the whole story here. Just substitute whatever metal you are
working on now.
