Yu Mingjie Technology specializes in producing a wide range of materials including pigments, reflective powders, copper powders, pearl powders, phosphors, aluminum silver paste, glitter powders, and more. These products are widely used in various industries such as decoration, art, and manufacturing. One of the most popular products is copper gold powder, which has multiple applications and is often used to create imitation metal effects. In this article, we will briefly introduce how to make imitation brass using copper powder.
The main tools and materials required for the process include brushes, row pens, emery cloth, copper powder, nitro varnish, iron oxide yellow, shellac varnish, green and blue paints, carbon black, light wax, golden blocks, oil paints, alcohol varnish, gasoline, paint pots, and chrome green.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making imitation brass:
1. **Preparation**: First, clean the craft items thoroughly to remove dust and any imperfections. Then, smooth out the seams and apply shellac varnish. After it dries, apply a second coat of shellac. Once fully dry, use a wool pen to draw the design on the surface. Add shellac varnish mixed with iron oxide yellow to enhance the color.
2. **Applying Gold Paint**: After the base layer is dry, apply gold powder paint twice. The first application should be allowed to dry before applying the second coat. This process gives the crafts a realistic brass-like appearance.
**Gold Powder Paint Formula**:
- 1 part copper powder
- 2 parts nitro varnish
- 3 parts banana water
Mix the banana water with the copper powder first, then add the nitro varnish and mix thoroughly. This mixture should be used immediately, as leaving it for too long can cause the gold luster to fade.
**Shellac Varnish Formula**:
- 100–150 grams of insect film
- 500 ml of alcohol
Dissolve the insect film in alcohol first, then mix in iron oxide yellow. Do not filter the solution; it can be used directly. It's important to note that copper gold powder comes in three varieties: red-gold, blue-gold, and red-blue. Choose the appropriate type based on your desired finish and project requirements.
