I have made many sundials out of different materials. The brass ones are too much trouble for people to keep polished. Any suggestions as to how to treat them so that they tarnish nicely and dont need any more care?
It is too late to clear coat it because I don't want to take it apart to polish it AGAIN! How about some kind of acid bath? Brass was not a good choice for a sundial. I have made them out of copper, aluminum, wood, stained glass, cement and cardboard. Only brass has been a problem.
