Aged Patina
Tips To Age A New Mirror
Are You trying to get your mirror to look aged? Well you have come to the right place. In the past 2 years I have written a lot on how to buy decorative mirrorsand extetensive writing has helped a number of home owners all over the world. If you want to be one those people then I suggest you take a few minutes to read through this brief but useful article.
You can convert the glass area of the frame to look like an aged mirror using a variety of ways. For those of you who are not using mirrors that are unframed you also have a choice to convert the frame of the mirror to a tray. {You Can do this even withThis can even be done with} some makeup mirror with lights
You can either use silver and gelatin or even an aluminum leaf. I know that most chemical kits cost something like $90 for 300 square feet but you can just use the latter on glass at a smaller fee than most| however, you can also just use the aluminum leaf because it is cheaper.
I must mention that that this does not always work effectively especially due to the fact that it is not easy to remove the grey paint on the back of most new mirrors.
So another option is to use what is known as Antique Mirror Patina| Antique Mirror Patina is another option you can consider for this project, which is a water based alkaline solution, a water based solution made from alkaline and simulates the tarnish and old look of an antique mirror in a new one. You can do it on your own at $80 or so i.e. about $2 per square feet.
These are a sample of options to consider when trying to convert your best decorative mirrors or any kind to become an antique. I am confident that what I have shared above is enough to get you going.
