Product Description
XL Patina Gel is Liver of sulphur in a stabilised gel form.
This is a convenient, economical, and easy way to use liver of sulphur. XL Patina Gel doesn't degrade in light or air the way the lump form or usual liquid liver of sulphur does.
As you're probably aware, liver of sulphur in chunk form is very unstable and goes dead in a few hours if left uncovered or exposed to light. Not this - the XL Gel will remain fresh even if you've forgotten to put the lid on.
To test the shelf life of XL Gel, a sample container was left uncovered. After a year a thin skin had formed on the surface. The skin was stirred into the gel, and it was mixed up with water. The aged Patina Gel performed identical to another batch made from fresh Patina Gel (please note - we still recommend you keep the lid on!).
XL Patina Gel is economical to use. No more digging for the "right sized chunk" or wasting pieces that are too large. No more throwing out a whole container because the lid was not on just right. The gel is always fresh, and always ready to use. Just add a few drops to hot water and you're ready to go.
Just a 1/4 teaspoon of the gel is enough to make 177ml of strong patina solution. You can also use it straight from the container, by brushing it on and then dipping the piece in hot water. Or use it in the traditional way by mixing a little in some hot water.
XL Gel is safe and non-flammable so is safe for international shipping.
This is a little bottle full of clever stuff, small and easy to take on the go.
30ml (1 fl.oz)

XL Gel is great
I love the depth of black this gel can produce on silver. I've used it before and it lasts a long time. One bottle goes a long way.

XLGel
This is a revelation to me to be honest, very handy small bottle, a little goes a long way and despite needing to use with hot water having it in gel form makes it altogether more manageable than others I have used. I have been painting it on then simply dipping into hot water. Works a treat.

Stunning results
I used this product to oxidize a number of 925 sterling silver bracelets, and after polishing them, the results were lovely.

Great result
Great product at a great price in Europe. The solution stinks but that's the nature of the chemical, better to use it with lots of ventilation or outside.Only a drop of solution is needed to oxidize a lot of metal.Very fast results by adding boiled water.(Better than wasting boiled eggs) Metal Clay Ltd service was great.Product was shipped and arrived very fast.Will definetly come back to buy more.
