Made one of these last year for a 'cabin' at a local campground, and they ordered 7 more this year!

3rd Party Hosting through ImageShack. I didn't resize the pics when I uploaded them, and then I posted the link using the IMG tags.dwilli9013 wrote:Wow looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Weathered Copper Signs
That's strange, I wonder why? I can see it on my PC, laptop, Android tablet, Android phone and IPhone. What are you using to view it?Mike-S wrote:Some of us can't see your work when you post it that way.

That looks great! Any instructions or link to them for how you achieved that finish?

Using IE 11 on an i7 PC. Frontier is provider, so that might be the problem.

Could be blocking the large images. I will resize them tonight and keep that in mind for next time. Thanks.Mike-S wrote:Using IE 11 on an i7 PC. Frontier is provider, so that might be the problem.
They are painted with Modern Masters Copper Reactive Paint.Gingery wrote:That looks great! Any instructions or link to them for how you achieved that finish?
Then (as per their instructions), an acidic solution of copper salts (Modern Masters green patina) was brushed on with a foam brush. The brown speckles in some of the patina is due to rubbing steel wool between my hands over-top of the signs while the patina solution was still wet. That was an accidental discovery, but I liked the effect so I used it as a 'feature'.
Everything was finally top coated with Modern Masters Xtreme clear coat, to seal the copper and keep the patina as is.
