Creating a patina using potassium dichromate typically involves a mixture of potassium dichromate and water, applied to metals like brass or bronze. The process often starts with diluting the potassium dichromate in water to create a solution. This solution is then applied to the metal surface, which can be done via brushing, spraying, or dipping. The reaction that occurs can produce various colors, including rich browns and reds.

It's crucial to handle potassium dichromate with extreme care, as it is a toxic and potentially harmful chemical. Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate safety equipment, including gloves and goggles.

Remember, experimenting on a small sample piece is advisable before applying the patina to your final workpiece. For specific proportions and detailed instructions, it's recommended to consult specialized resources or professionals in metalworking and patinas.
