[TheForge] surface finish

Bob, for patina chemicals try http://www.sculptnouveau.com/ .  I have used
black and red on bronze so far.  Read their info sheet carefully and try a
small amount of whatever you think you need and use their cleaning solution.
Very easy and some of the product is fairly innocuous to health and
environment.
