    Mine is Novacan black patina. Don’t drink it, smell it, touch it or look at it.

    Oh, and lye.

      Christ, just looked up the safety sheet for that black patina, you aren’t joking:

      • Aqueous dilute solution of Nitric Acid & Copper Sulfate
      • Transparent light blue liquid. Viscosity of water. Odorless.
      • The theoretical LD50 (rat/oral) for Novacan Black Patina is 1913 mg/kg
      • H300 Fatal if swallowed.

        Yeah. And one time my cat jumped on the table while I was staining. I spent the next half hour scrubbing her paws with dawn soap. She’s fine.

        I wear gloves, eye protection and a garbage bag when I use it.
