More Information
1Ltr Patination Oil is an alkyd resin based liquid which, when applied to Lead Sheet, provides a permeable coating through which the metal surface will oxidise at a controlled rate. Over time this oxised layer develops into uniform dull grey adherent patina. This patina is stable, pleasing in appearance and replaces the protection initially supplied by the Patination Oil. Patination Oil should be applied to all visible lead sheet surfaces, especially where rain water from these surfaces will run over other exposed building materials. It should be applied to new leadwork before the end of the day of installation (preferably out of direct sunlight), before the unsightly carbonate has a chance to form.
