Has anyone tried forcing a patina on copper? Based on my research, I could get the effect I'm looking for on my E04 Surge Jade Ti+Cu by using the ammonia vapor method 😉 Anyone have some hands-on experience to share? Here’s an mockup of how it should look

Love this light, but I want to give it some unique soul. I’m planning a ‘shipwreck patina’ but want to double-check the process with experts before I start.
r/FireflyLite – any thoughts on forcing a patina on this Ti+Cu beauty?
Calling r/Patina and r/MetalPolishing for some pro-tips on ammonia fuming and stabilizing the finish. Don’t want to ruin this beauty! Any advice?
That looks awesome
Titanium won’t patina or oxidize but it looks anodized in the photo. I would rub the copper like you’re trying to wake up a jinn in a lamp and let your natural skin oil give a rich deep patina that won’t easily fade or rub off.
