![]() Since the pieces aren't exactly aluminum, but some unknown (trade-secret) alloy, what would work best for this keeping in mind that they still need to be food safe when I'm done?Ī. So far, I've run them on the pots/pans cycle of my washer, using cascade liquid dishwashing soap, but the patina isn't as consistently dark as I've seen elsewhere. ![]() ![]() I however want this darker, more pewter-like patina on my pieces. Their website says the metal they use in their products is an 'aluminum-based alloy' and to never put it in the dishwasher as that will darken the patina significantly. I recently started collecting vintage Wilton Armetale dinnerware. Also do so, if possible, without the use potentially harmful chemical agents, as the Wilton pieces are meant for food. The question of how to only darken the aluminum patina however still stands. Reading Goran's thread more carefully, this makes total sense in the context of creating a brass/bronze patina. So I tried Goran's recipe of olive oil on the aluminum and it certainly worked to change the patina - but it turned it from gray to a shiny brass not exactly what I was looking for. I'll try olive oil and get back to this thread. Sure thing, Ted! I wasn't sure if that method would work on an alloy like that of Wilton. But please return the favor by letting us know how it works. Goran has already offered a highly detailed solution that sounded like a bullseye to me.
