Jax Chemical CompanyJAX Pewter Black - Metal Finishing Solution - Antique Finish Without Heat or Electricity - Pint

Q: Will this work on regular steel?

From the Jax website - Produces a dark, black antique finish on pewter, lead, brass, bronze, copper, nickel, tin-lead alloys and solders. Note that steel is NOT mentioned. However, Jax makes a product called JAX Iron, Steel and Nickel Blackener and it says, Produces an antique metallic black finish on iron, steel and nickel.

Q: Does this work on led free pewter ?

Pewter has been lead free since 1974 so yes I have used this on lead free pewter and it seemed OK

Q: Will this work to re-store the patina of a mirror..?

No. It was used to degrade the shinyness of the original pewter patina so it was older and less shiny looking. Worked very well.

Q: I made a cube out of leds and i'd like to turn all the wires between the led's black, would it affect the plastic housing on the leds?

I used the Jax Patina on pewter sconces but did not touch any plastic wiring so I cannot answer you directly except to say that it is pretty lethal stuff as a form of acid etching, so I would think it would affect the plastic. Can you paint the wires?
