Default How can one darken brass?
Does anyone have any idea how to turn brass to a blackened color. I remember years ago on the forum, someone talking about tannic acid. Arsenic acid is too dangerous to use. Any other formulas? Where does one acquire tannic acid? Do other acids darken brass? I have a sword with a brass repair and it would improve its look greatly.
