Spent most of the day researching my Investigative Study because the workshop is closed for inductions.
I mixed up some LOS with warm water, and painted it onto a few of the sample casts I have been doing. I did so onto copper, bronze and iron. Copper seems to react the quickest, but bronze has a pretty similar outcome. It deadens and dulls the surface very quickly. Nothing happened to iron. I would like to try flecking it onto the final copper or bronze cast to give speckled dull dots. Also, if you wire-wool it back afterwards, it gives a dark but slightly sparkley finish, which does look good...

I am awaiting marble powders from tiranti, which shall be interesting to play with.
