Re: How to age metal parts

ammonia is also in urine.



would Hydrochloric Acid work? I put that on the tailpiece of my mandolin... (the gold looked horrible !) it kinda made the metal look aged, but I wanted a uniform look and sanded it... then filled the grooves with shoe polish

it turned out pretty neat.
