Modern Masters Metal Effects

You need to seal the patina or it will rub off with handling (think about what your hand looks like after picking up a rusty iron bar). You also need to use a sealer that won't affect the color of the patina.

I've done a lot of large turned projects using the Sculpt Nouveau type B metal coatings with various patinating agents. Good stuff. I like the bronze the best, but to each their own.

Metal Coatings - Finishes

For pens I patinated the barrels and then cast it in PR to protect it from handling. Worked well, but I think a pen offers too small a canvas for this type of treatment.
