Cast Iron - Cast iron was first used by the Chinese though became much more widely available in Europe in medieval times. In the 1700's a coke fired blast furnace was invented which made cast iron production much cheaper and lead to the beginnings of the industrial revolution. As iron became more plentiful and cheaper, it became a major component in industry and structural engineering with the first iron bridge being completed in 1778.

In addition, make sure you handle the chemicals used to patina the metals in a very well ventilated space, and wear skin, lung and eye protection at all time. Never mix chemicals unless you know what you are doing. Buildings accentuated by metal manage to look modern whilst standing the test of time. From great obelisks of rusted metal pointing up into the clouds to distinguished brass plates giving traditional buildings that extra bit of curb appeal, metal has been long used in the architecture world to really cement the style of a structure. With our magnificent antiquing solution, you can make a building look like it has been in place for years whilst giving is a stand out, contemporary look. Choose a natural, satin style metal finish or the vivid shades that rust and aged copper provide. Give your structure gravitas in the blink of an eye! Steam Punk Paint Once you have achieved a patina you like, rinse off your piece with water to prevetn further patination and leave it to dry completely.With this technique, it’s not so bad if the surface is a bit rough, because the paint will cover it, and the patina process always adds a lot of texture anyway. Wrought Iron - Wrought iron is the simpler of the two processes as it does not require the technology to get the iron to very high temperatures to melt it. Samples of worked meteoric iron have been found in Syria from around 3500 BC. Iron from meteors was highly regarded as iron sent down from the heavens. There is even mention of the substance several times in the bible, with it first being mentioned in the Book of Genesis. Keen gardeners can create beautiful objects to compliment their green-fingered world with our real metal range. The warm tones of copper flatter the great outdoors’ emerald hues perfectly. Be the toast of the garden design world and complete a rugged, industrial look with the greys of Iron and Tin. Artists Not to say I have delved into this widely as yet. My research proved that there are so many different ways to produce sometimes surprising colours. For the sake of this blog, though, I thought it would be more fun – and accessible – to explore what household chemicals can do to create patinas. Here are my recommendations for how to patina metals based on my experiments: Colours: For a Deep, Bright Turquoise and Blue Verdigris:

And its not just a smooth metal finish you can achieve, you can age the coating with our antiquing solution to add yet another unique finish to your repertoire. Popular with the U.S. Rat Rod customising community, the aged metal look doesn’t look like its going to fade at all in 2016, in fact we see its popularity going through the roof. Why not offer your customers a new style that they may not have seen before in the UK or may not have known they could achieve without travelling across the pond. Bronze - Bronze is an alloy made up of primarily copper and tin. Depending on any other additives, the resulting alloy can be harder than copper alone or have increased stiffness or ductility. Discovery of this allow began the time known as the bronze age, making it easier for prehistoric people to make hard tools, weapons and building materials. Originally these tools were made of a mixture of copper and arsenic, known as arsenic bronze with the earliest examples coming from the Iranian plateau in around 5000 BC. Earliest examples of what we think of as bronze now, with tin being used instead of arsenic come from around 3000BC and were much easier to cast and stronger. Our liquid metal paints can be applied onto almost any surface to add a little metallic flare to your artistic creations. Alter the level of shine on the surface to specifically suit your artwork. Want to add gravitas and a traditional look to a piece of art? Why not coat it in liquid brass paint in the style of the old masters. Want an industrial, raw look? How about trying the deep grey of our iron paint or the clean lighter tones or our tin paint. Automotive Spray Painters Use Bronze, Copper or Brass with White Wine Vinegar and an Ammonia Chamber. For a Light Turquoise Verdigris:

Use Bronze, Copper or Brass with Pool Chlorine Painted on and left in a Chlorine Chamber. For a Aged Brown Patina:

I’ve been experimenting with how to patina using DIY patina paint and household chemicals, and I have to say, it’s absolutely fascinating – and fun! Copper has also has links to medicine for thousands of years. Practitioners of alternative medicine claim copper is an aid for arthritis, though studies have not found scientific proof for this. There is however a large amount of evidence regarding the germicidal and bactericidal properties of copper. It is known as a biostatic substance, as bacteria will not grow on its surface. Copper and its alloys have long been known to destroy a wide range of micro-organisms including E.coli, fungi and MRSA with products having been installed in many hospitals and public places all over the world to help to control the spread of infection. With its status as an antimicrobial substance, the demand for copper can only go up. This pattern can already be seen - in use for at least 10000 years, 95% of all copper mined has been extracted since 1900 and more than half mined in the last 24 years Copper - Copper is a pure chemical element known to scientists by the symbol Cu. It is a soft, malleable metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has a famously red/orange colour and oxidises to form a green colour when weathered. It is a pure metal found in nature with some experts thinking it was the first metal to be used by humans - around 8000BC! Copper is one of only four elemental metals with a natural colour that is not grey or silver. Many compounds containing copper have a bright blue or green colour which has been widely used throughout history as a pigment. It is essential for all living things as part of respiration and is even found in the blood of mollusks and crustaceans giving their blood a blue color. Because of its lustrous appearance it was often associated with the Greek goddesses Aphrodite and Venus, with the association being carried through to medieval times where alchemists used the same symbol for copper as for Venus and the female form.At Metal Veneers we are (maybe unsurprisingly) absolutely head over heels in love with metals! Below are just a few reasons why we think metals are so interesting …

Iron - Iron has been used since ancient times to produce everything from cooking pots to weapons. By mass it is the Earths most common element, playing a key role in both the Earth's crust and it's metallic core. Iron is actually thought to be the sixth most abundant element in the universe, creating Mars's distinctive red surface and being the base for around 1 in 20 meteorites. It is the main ingredient in steel, which uses carbon to make steel 1000 times stronger than pure iron. Steel and other iron compounds are by far the most prevalent metals used inUse either Bronze, Copper or Brass and oxidise it using Red Wine Vinegar, Salt and an Ammonia Chamber. For a Mid Turquoise Verdigris: industry, due to their large range of desirable industrial properties and the widespread abundance of naturally occurring iron ore. Pure iron used in industry is known as either wrought iron or cast iron depending on the method used to process it. Wrought iron is iron that has been heated and then worked into a shape whereas cast iron is heated to its melting point and then poured as a liquid into a pre-made mould. A clear, water based medium, such as acrylic glaze, a pouring medium, water based varnish or you an even use a PVA glue such as Mod Podge. I’m going to call this the binder. Approximately 3 parts by weight. Step 1 – Measure out the powder into a cup. The amount you will need will depend on the size of your project. If in doubt, mix a small amount to begin with – you can easily mix more.
