## Description

JAX Brown Darkener - Metal Finishing Solution - Antique Finish without Heat or Electricity - Pint: desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: Create - This works amazingly easy and looks fabulous, totally controllable. The saxophone was delacquered then using Jax to do a forced patina. Be sure to clean the bare brass so it’s free of oils and avoid handling the brass so you don’t get anything from your hands on it otherwise that might be an area where the solution won’t take as well.
Review: Works great! - It's like water, but after a minute it turns bare copper brown. Wash it, dry it and buff it with some very fine steel wool and it looks great! I tried some on copper that had been treated to not tarnish and it didn't work, which shouldn't have been a surprise.

## Features

- FAST ACTING: JAX Brown Darkener works quickly, just clean the metal from lacquer, oil, grease and wax
- EASY TO USE: JAX Brown Darkener is easy to apply and safe on the metal surface. Use a bristle brush, sponge or rag and apply the JAX solution directly to the metal. You may also dip the entire object into the solution. Always use JAX Products in plastic or glass containers
- EASY TO CONTROL: JAX Brown Darkener has a water-based solution for antiquing or darkening metal. To dip your metal into JAX solution, you may dilute it with water to slow the reaction down and have more control over the finish
- NEVER EXPIRE: JAX products never expire; however, they can deteriorate over time if not cared for properly. Safety is the first priority. Always store JAX products at room temperature, in tightly closed original containers
- PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA BY JAX CHEMICAL COMPANY, a quarter of a century of giving our customers uncompromising quality. Go ahead, experience a metal polish that's tried and trusted

The product did change the patent slightly, but not as I had hope. The handles to which I applied the product may not have had as much brass content as I thought.
