I remember reading about a recent (last couple of years or sooner) book that came out on patination. I was interested because the review said that each recipe had a colour picture of the patina. Something that most other books lack, or their pictures are in a different place to the recipe so alot of page turning back and forth is requires. I cant remember where I saw the review for this book, here or youtube. If anyone knows this book can you post a link please Thanks
Don't know the book you mean. The one I have is like you say with the text dump and a few colour pages. That ones called "The colouring, Bronzing and Patination of Metal" by Richard Hughes. I don't find it particularly useful though. Maybe these will be helpful. A few links I have bookmarked. https://davidmbowman.com/patinas/formulas.htm https://www.sciencecompany.com/Patina-Formulas-for-Brass-Bronze-and-Copper.aspx http://www.rotblattsculpture.com/Articles/patinaarticle.html
One of those links recommended a book so I search for it and found this. https://patinas.afafoundry.com/patinas-for-silicon-bronze/ Ed. Ah, US only.
thanks for the links. Ive book marked those. I was looking at that book on amazon for 40 quid, but its not the one I mean
