Get ready to achieve a stunning, antique finish on your brass, bronze, and copper surfaces with the Birchwood Technologies Antique Black M24 Brush-On Liquid. This powerful, instant-acting chemical conversion finish produces a rich, dark brown to black color that adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to any project. With its easy-to-use, brush-on application, this liquid blackener is perfect for DIY enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals alike.

To ensure a flawless finish, start by thoroughly cleaning and degreasing the metal substrate to remove any surface soils, tarnish, or old finishes. Use a solvent such as alcohol, acetone, or lacquer thinner to remove any residue, taking care to avoid mineral spirits as it can leave behind a residue. Next, remove any surface oxide by bead blasting or buffing with a 3M Scotchbrite abrasive or flap wheels. This step is crucial to achieve a smooth, even finish.

Now, apply the Antique Black M24 solution evenly to the surface using a swab, sponge, or plastic pump sprayer. For a deep, dark black finish, use the solution undiluted and watch as the color develops in under 30 seconds. For a more subtle, brown finish, dilute the solution with tap water to slow down the reaction. Start with a 1:1 dilution and adjust to achieve the desired shade. After the solution has worked its magic, rinse the surface with clean water, followed by a second rinse with a baking soda solution to ensure no residue remains. Dry the surface with forced air or warm air to prevent water spots.

To add an extra layer of protection and enhance the color, apply a clear lacquer, wax, or suitable sealant. This will not only lock in the finish but also darken the color, giving it a rich, luxurious appearance. For a truly unique, distressed look, burnish the surface with a soft cloth or use a mild abrasive pad or buffing wheel to highlight the metal. If a darker color is desired, simply repeat the process.
