JAX Brown-Black

Produces an antique brown-black finish on brass, bronze and copper without heat or electricity.

Using JAX Brown-Black Darkener for Brass, Bronze and Copper is simple:

• Prepare and clean the surface to be treated
• Apply the JAX Brown-Black
• Wash the JAX off the metal when the metal is slightly darker than your desired finish
• Relieve with Scotch-Brite
• Wash again with water and dry.

To ensure the best results, clean your metal of all lacquer, oil, grease and wax. JAX manufactures metal cleaners that are optimal for prepping your metal, but there is no one cleaner that will guarantee perfection. Your choice of cleaner depends on what you are trying to remove from your metal. Regardless of what you use to clean your metal, we recommend using Dawn Dishwashing Liquid as the final step before applying the JAX Brown-Black.

Wearing gloves is highly recommended as to not introduce oils from your hands to the metal. To be safe, eye protection is always recommended.
