Lighter applications will be transparent golden brown. Additional coats will turn dark burgundy to brown and more opaque. Ferric Nitrate Patina is commonly used over a Liver of Sulfur base to produce a chocolate brown patina. On iron, steel, and zinc, Ferric Nitrate Patina is applied cold and takes hours to develop. On iron and steel, this process generates a stable orange rust. On zinc, the result is a yellow brown finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sculpt Nouveau","offers":[{"title":"8oz","offer_id":48015438381371,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32oz","offer_id":48015438446907,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon","offer_id":48015438414139,"sku":null,"price":73.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/files\/ferric-nitrate-all.jpg?v=1710985596"},{"product_id":"traditional-antiquing-patina","title":"Traditional Antiquing Patina","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eAntiquing Patina creates an aged brown to black finish on bronze, brass, and copper.
