The media could not be loaded. Very easy to apply just make sure the solder is clean and use a brush.

good

A disclaimer: this was the first time I tried using this product, so it may be possible I did something wrong, I am not sure...This patina totally ruined the look of the holiday ornaments I was making as gifts. Now I need to redo them all over again. I knew the flux residue needed to be removed, so I cleaned it thoroughly with the denatured alcohol using a toothbrush, and then gave it a wash in soapy water to be sure, follwed by rinsing and drying. After applying the patina, the coverage was uneven, very dull and looked ugly like a badly oxidized copper. I even tried to clean some spots with a scotchbrite,removing the patina and reapplying it again. Same result. On the second item I used a different solder (also a 60/40 alloy but from a different supplier). On this one, the patina didn't even look like copper at all - it was a disgusting gray-brownish color looking more like rust. So, I had to take apart two finished items and am now redoing them.The item is not returnable, so it looks like I can't get a refund, even though the "satisfaction guarantee" on the bottle says otherwise.

Clean application with no residue on glass. Very happy with this patina. Thank you!

I've used this brand for years. Great product.
