Patena fills the small gaps between the plate and column wall...what a bloody bonus...

You're not far from the truth googe, but it's only reliable if undisturbed.

If your getting that much bt, maybe you need to give it a bath occasionally.... :teasing-tease:
There's a difference between patina and green oxide shit. you sure you're not getting them mixed up?

I'm always not far from the true empty :-B . Is the difference with patina and oxide, patina is naturally occurring such as stilling, air ect and green oxide is from introduced chemicals such as flux ect?.
