Advice Required

I treat the brass or copper object in diluted selenium acid (1:10 SA/Water) at last twice. Rubbing each time with a soft coth piece till the coating is smooth after required darkening you can also apply a rigid varnish which protects the coating

Special Hint: you can also use colorless nail hardener as protective varnish

These copper davids i sealed with CA glue after the blackening process. It is also durable

How do you suggest using the Brass Black, to avoid the brittle patina please? I would like a permanent patina, one that would not be altered during handling of the parts.

believe I’ll need all the help I can get so all advice gratefully received!

Hallo @eldrin83
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Actually, it depends on what country you are from as if you say "me" or "my"

my" as "me," which is common also in Ireland, Scotland, Northern and Western England, and some dialects in Australia.
