    One thing I haven't seen on this thread about patina on silver is the
    need to heat either the solution or the silver.  I have tried it many
    times both ways and found that it is easier and more effective to
    simply lay the silver on a hot plate (same one we heat our pickle on)
    for 20 or 30 secs and then paint on the solution (we use JAX). The
    results are astonishing. The patina is instant and very black. It is
    also quite durable. Try it.
