#affiliate For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I would love to discuss patina! Jax Silver Blackener is the one I often use and here in the video I’m using my crafting heat gun to help it get super black on my plant stand (check those out over at @corkieboltonjewelry ☺️) Once I achieve the color I want I wash wish soap and water to remove any access patina. I’m also using a ear swab to apply here but that’s just because I couldn’t find a small paintbrush. Our friends @gesswein.jewelry carry Jax and you can save a little off your order and support the page with code MSS5. If you are in CANADA you can also receive the discount by using code: metalsmith. What do you use? Share with us, we’d love to hear how you get a nice black patina! #blackpatina #jewelrypatina #gesswein #jewelrymakingtips
