I've also just discovered this stuff, which looks totally FUN for rusticating things: Amazon.com: Modern Masters PA904-04 Rust Activator, 4-Ounce: Home Improvement
Don't get me going on glue. I have a little bin and in there I must have like 12 different glues -- all supposed to the best glue EVER; only half the time, they don't work at all! I recently did use a polyurethane glue (like liquid nails) and wow, that stuff rocks...it's like construction adhesive. It doesn't dry clear though or anything and wouldn't really be that great on really small stuff. |
Oh I got some stuff from the Aaron Bros that closed. It makes patina on real brass. I'm going to eventually get around to using that on that vintage brass lamp I got a few weeks ago. So it was $10, but since everything was 90% off, I got 2 bottles of the patina for $1 each, and some silver and sealer also from the same brand. All for $1 each.
As for glue, yeah I hate how they all say the best ever, and it's not. I esp hate people who use glue in millinery. That's like the first rule, never use glue unless you are putting on rhinestones without drill holes. Everything should be sewn by hand. I feel like using glue is cheating.
