Three Step Acid Finishing

2006

Hello,
I represent a factory that makes brass outdoor lanterns and they claim that their finish is one of the best, "three step acid finish". We do five different variations...Verde, Bronze, etc.
Briefly explain the process to me so I can have a better understanding about what we do and why our finish is better.

Sorry; the term '3-step acid finishing process' means nothing to me. That's not to say I know it all;just that if the term had a widely accepted or universal meaning then people in the industry probably should have at least heard of the term. But c'mon, Peter, your competitors are supposed to educate you in why your finish, that you never heard of, is better than theirs? You might want to investigate your process and give us some more to work with :-)

Good luck.
