Adding Patina

Adding Patina to Efex is easy and reinventing old furniture is often all about the patina.

The obvious one is using gilding wax/foil/leaf to add glitz, but…thats not the only way.

How you finish your Efex pieces often dictates their style. Even the most elegant and ornate embellishments will look rustic when painted or stained with country colors.

So go on, experiment with different colors and finishes!
