weklundThat is great looking. I use boiled eggs to patina silver for an antique look. Works great. If you look close at the silver when holding it, you can see greens and blues. And sometimes shades of red and yellow. Here's a pic with a few silver pieces with relatively light patina. And a couple of my Massdrop copper lights when they were still new and shiney.

weklundSo you put the flashlight in a plastic bag along with a smashed up boiled egg?
For how long, roughly, to get the look you have on yours?

SilvermountainYep ... Easy process. Boil two eggs. Chop fine. Place in baggie with light body. Remove excess air. Seal. Coat body evenly in egg bits. Let stand for 8 hours or so. Remove and wash with mild soap and water. Done.
Note: No finger prints ... Wash you hands and wear latex gloves as not to contaminate the RAW copper or brass prior to patina process. You want direct contact with egg and RAW metal.

weklundGreat thanks! Do you just put the whole torch in fully assembled (w/out battery)?
I'm so going to try this :)

SilvermountainThe whole torch ... no need to remove battery. The light is water tight so just make sure bezel and tail are finger tight. You will love the results.
