I used this product to darken the new brass hinges for my wife's Hoosier Cabinet. It did an excellent job but oil form your finger prints will show in the darkening process I solved this problem by washing the hinges with Acetone and held them with hemostats so no finger prints showed up.

I needed to age and darken a new brass railing and read about various chemicals etc , thinking I should be able to find something inexpensive and easy to use. Finally I gave up on finding the ingredients for a homemade solution - too much research and time - and I just ordered this stuff from Rockler. It came within a couple of days, I tried it, and it worked fine. I used the 8 oz size for about 17 ft of railing and posts and had a little left over. I couldn't dip it so I simply painted it on until the brass reached the color I wanted.

I tried this on the brass handles to my kitchen cabinets and did not get expected results. It turned them more copper color than an antiqued brass look.
