## Description

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

Review: This product works!!!!!!!!!!!! - I had to repair the finish on a large bronze deer. During the restoration of the concrete pedestal that the bronze sits on particles of cement got on the deer and caused the finish to be removed due to the alkalinity of the cement. The Jax finishing solution was very easy to use. It took very little time for the finish to start appearing . I used the dawn dish detergent as recommended to clean the area and remove the oil finish. The surface came out as a deep brown exactly what was needed to match the existing finish. The entire job took about 30 minutes. Yes the product is more expensive but it is well worth the extra expense. I had tried the liver of sulfur and it did not work at all. It did no mater how hot I made the solution or the bronze deer. With the Jax I did not do any heating. To top it all of, the liver of sulfur was not returnable. A total waste of money and hours time for a product that did not work. The Jax Metal brown finish worked perfectly. Now the bronze deer looks great . Highly recommend.
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

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.
