========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== > Does anyone know how to get this look on gold??= Dear Bari Here is a recipe which works wonders for me: Saltpeter (Potassium Nitrate) - 4 parts by weight Alum - 2 parts common Salt - 2 parts Add enough water to make a thin paste. Place in a crucible and boil. Place the article attached to a silver wire into the mixture for 10-20 minutes. Rinse with hot water and scratch brush with brass wire brush and return to the solution. Rinse again in hot water, scratch brush, wash with soap and hot water, rinse in hot water and dry off in sawdust. This will give you the high karat colour you are looking for. I think I owe this to an older Orchid post in which case I beg forgiveness fro copying it, but it really gives very nice results. However it is imperative to keep your pieces off the bottom of the contaioner as the gold will otherwise be dissoluted into the paste.
