[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4521014, member: 75143"]Today I will be reviewing Jax brand patina restoring products. If you want to try, I recommend getting the Jax 4-pack sampler from Nobleromancoins.com at [URL]https://nobleromancoins.com/product_info.php?products_id=1008[/URL] For $12, this is the absolute best price you will find. [B]But it is worth it? [/B] At least, do these products do much beyond what a simple Renaissance Wax application will? [B]Brown/Black, Brown, Green, and Black (COMBINED)[/B] Let's start with this Philip I Provincia Dacia sestertius. Originally heavily encrusted and ruined, a long soak in Sodium Hydroxide (lye) yielded this disgusting and multicolored piece. [ATTACH=full]1119986[/ATTACH] This is unacceptable. So I first tried the "Brown/Black" compound. It helped the rust colored parts a bit, but didn't tough the green. The I tried the Brown. Again, didn't do too much. I did some Green for good measure. Finally, I used Black. This finally darkened the rust colored portions enough that they were no longer hugely distracting, but did not do a thing for the greenish portions. [ATTACH=full]1119987[/ATTACH] Finally, I applied Renaissance Wax which did nothing but give it a bit of a gloss. [ATTACH=full]1119988[/ATTACH] Maybe it's too unfair to work with such a ruined coin, so let's check out this VBRS ROMA she-wolf coin. [B]Brown[/B] After a soak in Gringgott's #2 (a semi-strong base), I got this [ATTACH=full]1119989[/ATTACH]After using both the Brown solution and Rex Wax, I ended up with the following result. Although the Jax did not change the color of the lighter portions complete, it at least helped to even out the appearance.[ATTACH=full]1119991[/ATTACH] [B]Green[/B] This seemed to be the most ineffective of all. I did this on several coins but only took pictures of this one. After Gringgott's soak, I got whatever this is. [ATTACH=full]1119992[/ATTACH] Applying Jax Green, and NO Ren Wax, you get this. In-hand, there was virtually no difference. Perhaps a slight evening of colors, but almost indistinguishable. [ATTACH=full]1119993[/ATTACH] [B]CONTINUED...[/B][/QUOTE]
