Tombak Opinions Wanted

[Tim Simmons]

Perhaps the solution should have been heated. In my work the colouring of metals {precious metals mainly} is quite common. I have a sulphur based solution for the colouring of silver and bronze which I will try. I can get other colouring solutions. I will have to soak the blade agian as I have already oiled it. I will post the results.

Would that be Liver of Sulphur Tim ?

Gosh Rick that is a bit technical I should think it is something like that, only specially formulated. I will try this one at different temperatures, and on a price check I might try others. It is usually only the odd job that makes you get these things.

Just wondering 'cause my jeweler gave me a small can of chunks of some form of sulphur that he said he used to patinate silver and other metals .
The label said Liver of Sulphur ; I tried it on steel many years ago ; I know it darkened it but I can't remember whether it was grey , black or brown .

I think I'll save the rest for my neighbor's swimming pool when it gets noisy late at night .< evil grin >
