Darkening Aluminum?
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 5:40 pm
As per our discussions on how to wear AL maille without looking like an extra in a bad fantasy movie, is there any quick and easy way to darken aluminum? I'm not talking about anodizing or anything like that. Just a patina that will go on cold and not cost too much.
I was thinking of just letting it sit in a bucket of dirty water for a day or two, but I'm not sure how well the maille would "take" the patina. Thanks!
