O/T - restoring copper patina

Posted by Dave Maher [67.186.188.180] on Thursday, December 06, 2012 at 16:17:47 :

I recently restored a copper teakettle that belongs to my sister-in-law. I re-soldered the snout back on, then had to bead-blast the kettle to remove unwanted solder and stains. Now the kettle doesn't look right all nice and clean. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can use to re-darken the copper so it can look the age that it is? Thanks in advance, Dave Maher
