Wild Rust Activator (Refill)
Reactive activator for re-application or larger projects — for use with Wild Rust Iron or Copper Sets
Reactive ammonia solution that activates and intensifies the controlled oxidation of Wild Rust coatings. Apply on completely dry Wild Rust surface with spalter brush, sponge, or low-pressure spray. Each additional coat deepens the rust (Iron) or verdigris (Copper) effect — giving full creative control over the final aesthetic. Do not dilute.
