Don's Green Patina Mix
     An authentic finish, relatively low toxicity, and low cost, make this solution good for larger exterior surfaces.
     The solution is applied in several graduated concentrations over several weeks. It is best if the copper is first given a few months of installed time. (But not more than a year. After copper has been outdoors for about a year, this solution is slow to react to the copper even in full concentration.)   Makes 5 gallons. All you add is water. Approximately enough to treat 300 lineal feet of new copper gutter and downspout (or 600 square feet of roof surface).      $25  - weight 7.5 lbs.

Instant Copper Plating Fluid-For Lead/Tin Solder
     No equipment required. Just buff solder, brush on, wipe off, rinse and dry. A must for any copper gutter installer.
$10 -  8 ounce bottle

Don's Special Wax for Bronze
     A unique custom blend of microcrystalline waxes formulated by the British Museum, and fortified by Don Miller with copper chelating agents to protect and prevent tarnishing of bronze and copper. This wax may be used annually to maintain the look of finished brackets. A little goes a long way.
