: Do any of you chemists know how to take nice shiny new brass and bronze and
: tarnish it quickly so that it has that old nautical look? Every reference
: I can find tells me how to remove tarnish, not create it. Thanks in
: advance.

Our local Ace hardware carries lots of products for doing this. Quick and easy. I use "English Bronze" for that dark look.
