Bronze & Pearlescent Powders

Bronze powders are a mixture of copper and zinc with the ratios changing to give different shades of “gold”.

The powders can be mixed with a suitable medium (such as Ormoline bronzing medium) to make a metallic paint or can be dusted onto (for example) an oil based gold size.

The powders will tarnish if exposed to the air so the finish should be covered with a suitable varnish such as Roberson’s Universal Lacquer to protect them.
