Before you start

  • Cover and protect everything you do not wish to coat.
  • Apply between 5°C and 25°C.
  • Do not apply to hot surfaces.

Surface Preparation

  • Surfaces must be in good sound condition, clean, dry and free of all grease, oil and other surface contamination.
  • Meticulously clean surface using a suitable cleaning agent depending on the substrate and contamination e.g. Acetone, Hot Soapy Water (rinse thoroughly) etc.

Non-Porous and Difficult Surfaces (Plastic, Glass, Stainless Steel, Non-Ferrous Metals etc)

Primer surface with Absolute Primer prior to using Reactiv Leaf Copper.

Surfaces Sensitive to Acids (Woods high in tannin e.g. Oak, Chestnut. Some Plastics)

Primer surface with Blocking Primer prior to using Reactiv Leaf Copper.

Note: Reactiv Leaf Copper is not required on copper surfaces.

Application of Reactiv Leaf Copper

  • Use as is. Do not thin.
  • Stir or shake well before use.
  • Apply a coat of Reactiv Leaf Copper to the surface being treated.
  • Allow to dry.
  • See Copper Spirit Technical Data Sheet for next stage.

Using a brush to apply Reactiv Leaf Copper with a dabbing action allows for a very natural grey/green oxide effect to be created (see video).

The decorative effect may be adjusted by allowing the 1st coat of Reactiv Leaf Copper to fully dry and then applying the 2nd coat of Reactiv Leaf Copper and/or Bronze Copper in localised areas.
