Here is the formula:

    1 oz. Ammonium Chloride
    1 oz. Cupric Chloride
    1 oz. Cupric Sulfate
    1 oz. Cupric Carbonate
    1 Pint Distilled Water

It takes about three hours for this patina to work.  Note that the formula above is quite concentrated.  You may want to dilute it with a third more water.

Allow this patina to sit for at least six hours before spraying it with a lacquer.  Remember that you need to apply two coats of lacquer before waxing (let lacquer cure for six hours).
