Jax Copper from JAX Chemical Company plates a layer of copper onto iron, steel, brass, and solder surfaces. In stained glass and metalwork it is often used as a preparation step before applying Jax Green Patina, since the green patina needs copper to react with on solder seams.
This is a chemical solution for metal, not for glass. Use it with ventilation and gloves, keep it off finished glass, and follow the manufacturer instructions and the Safety Data Sheet. The 16 oz bottle ships as a regulated chemical (domestic shipping restrictions may apply).
