    I use patina in many of my jewelry pieces. I tried a dozen different
    sealants. Most dulled or backed the color down to a previous color (I
    use the salt/ammonia additive). The two sprays which leave my patina
    colors with irridescence and good color play, very nearly what they
    were before spraying, are StayBrite brass lacquer from Woodworkers
    Supply and Nikolas #2105. I buy both on-line. Before spraying, I
    leave the patina items to sit overnight.
