Tutorial: Forced Shipwreck Patina 

MightyRude Hey, look at you with the pro tips. I didn't know that. I'll have to enlist you a professional expert on metals. Teach me about tungsten as I will have a few pieces to talk about soon. =D

Hobby Timmy Tungsten (non English speaking countries call it wolfram)has almost the same mass (weight) as gold is very hard and has a very high melting point The problem with tungsten is its brittleness tungsten can be brittle at room temperature because of its high melting point the high melting point makes the super cooled state around room temperature making it brittle (tungsten carbide is a mix of tungsten and ceramic (also high melting point)and is also quite brittle at room temperature) This is why milled tungsten objects are mostly made from tungsten sintered in a matrix with other metals like copper, zinc or silver (or a combination) the softer metals also make it easier (cheaper) to mill Because of its hardness tungsten can only be milled with tungsten (like tungsten or tungsten carbide for milling tungsten copper) or diamond tools making tungsten one of the most expensive metals to mill (tungsten itself is not expensive) Tungsten itself is poisonous so don't lick or eat the spinner (just to be safe) That is about all i know about tungsten used in spinners if you want to know more (like melting point or other uses of tungsten) you can search google or ask an actual metallurgist (i'm just a guy interested in metals) Hope this information helps you out a bit

Pro tips. Thanks =D

Mad idea

@@watosmate8935 wish I could share a pic.

Really crazy that a friend of mine shot me a text about it this morning. And you replied as were were talking! After 4 years, thats nuts!! Lol!

Moneypit330 I like the shine from the gloss coat so I was happy to see the wax had a bit of a sheen.

Michael Moser hey, thank. I appreciate it. Gonna try it?

Crispy Crispy Thanks. Let me know if you give it a try.

so hard boiled egg and the ammonia fred? or salt?

weclap Yeah, not too shabby.

Well you could sand it down and/or tumble it, but the electroplated will protect the material from what I did in this video.

Marc Williams looks like shit, perfect! =D

I liked it.

C.M.F's Spinners Yup, essentially thats what is going on. The forced patina is just a fun way to give it a customized weathered look. Certainly not for everyone or every spinner.

Ramza Natural patina certainly does not turn out this way, unless you leave it in the ocean. Normal patina is like an old brass doorknob.
