Ok this is what I did.=20

I put copper sulfate into warm water until it would hold no more.
I sand blasted the table and squirted it with phosphoric acid, let dry =
and then sprayed with the copper sulfate solution.

I put on 4 or 5 coats when each one dried.

It had bright copper on some places and dark brown or black in others. =
So I rubbed with scotch bright and most of the black rubbed off and some =
of the copper. I didn't really scrub it.

So am I doing it totally wrong or should do it again and just wipe it =
down and spray a clear coat over the mess?does it take some time to dry =
or cure? I was really going for the green copper effect.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
