Experience the art of transforming copper, brass, and bronze into stunning, verdant masterpieces with Jax Jax Green Patina. This extraordinary solution produces a permanent, authentic green finish that's sure to captivate and inspire. Whether you're a seasoned craftsman or an enthusiastic hobbyist, Jax Jax Green Patina is the perfect tool to unlock the secrets of timeless, verdant beauty.

To achieve the best results, it's essential to prepare and clean the surface to be treated. Remove any lacquer, oil, grease, or wax that may interfere with the patination process. Jax recommends using their metal cleaners, specifically designed to optimize the surface for the Green Patina. For an added layer of assurance, use Dawn Dishwashing Liquid as a final step before applying the patina. Wear gloves to prevent oils from your hands from compromising the metal, and don't forget to wear eye protection for added safety.

Once the surface is prepared, use a stiff-bristle brush to apply the Jax Green Patina directly to the metal. The initial coat is crucial, so be sure to brush the patina onto the metal until a dull film appears, indicating that the patina has adhered to and is reacting with the metal. You may apply additional coats, but allow each coat to thoroughly air-dry (24 hours) between coats for optimal results. Unlike Jax's Blackeners and Darkeners, the Green Patina doesn't work instantaneously, so patience is key.

When you're satisfied with the finish, you can choose to seal it with wax, oil, or lacquer, although leaving the metal 'unprotected' can often yield a more desirable outcome. Keep in mind that Jax products never expire, but improper storage can lead to deterioration over time. Always store Jax products at room temperature, in tightly closed original containers, and in a locked, safe place.

Before you begin, take a moment to review the Safety Data Sheets and follow all safety guidelines to ensure a safe and successful experience with Jax Jax Green Patina. Remember to use the product in plastic or glass containers, and never mix it with other chemicals or reuse empty containers. When disposing of used products and containers, do so at an approved waste disposal facility.

To unlock the full potential of Jax Jax Green Patina, it's essential to test it in a small, inconspicuous area prior to applying it to the entire surface. For an even more authentic look, consider applying a Jax Darkener to the metal before applying the Green Patina. And, for optimal results, avoid applying the patina to hot metal or roofs, as the chemicals may evaporate and have little to no effect. With Jax Jax Green Patina, the possibilities for creative expression are endless, so unleash your imagination and let the art of patination begin!
