I’ve tried removing the film with vinegar and a lime remover, neither had any effect.

Is there a metal antiquing or oxidizing solution for home use for crafters?

Kitty C asked:


I have various non-precious metal charms and jewelry findings I would like to oxidize so they are darker and not shiny. Metals include brass, copper, bronze, nickel, tin, tibet silver, pewter, etc.

The oxidizers I have found seem to be marketed towards professional jewelers and for gold and silver, and have hazmat warnings.
