Anyone had experience and success with accelerating the aging process (patina) of brass?
I've just converted a military cap badge to one with no regiment reference and that will adorn a new hat but in the process I have unavoidably lost some 40 years of grime!
My first thought was to try 'smoking' it care of an oil lamp but fear this will rub off at the first touch.
All suggestions welcome other than use of enamel paint!
Cheers
