FAQs
When should I apply the Patination Oil?
It should be applied as soon as possible after the installation of new leadwork or the completion of restoration work.
Can I apply this over wet lead?
No, the surface must be completely dry for the product to function correctly.
What temperature range is safe for application?
The product is effective when applied at ambient temperatures between 5°C and 35°C.
What does this product do for my leadwork?
It helps the lead develop an even color and prevents the formation of white carbonate staining.
Do I need to clean the lead before applying?
Yes, ensure the surface is free of cement, dust, and loose debris before application.
Troubleshooting
White staining appearing after application
This often occurs if the lead was damp or contaminated with dust before application. Ensure the surface is perfectly clean and dry for future treatments.
Oil is not spreading evenly
Check the temperature of the lead and the environment. If too cold (below 5°C), the oil may thicken; if too hot, it may evaporate too quickly.
