Ko Phi-Phi Patination The final step in the creation of a bronze sculpture is the application of the patina. A propane torch is used to heat the metal to the point where chemicals are acid etched into the surface.
I chose to use stainless steel as the base for this sculpture because I could not achieve the same quality of finish using patinaed bronze. Like recipes for cooking, there are many different chemicals used, but the order in which they are put on to the bronze will affect its final color.
