Quickest way to blacken copper is using a sulphur solution For those who are looking to turn copper black go to an art supply store and ask for Liver Of Sulphur. It will blacken copper almost instantaneously. Test on a corner or a scrap first to give you an idea as to how fast it will take effect. Also make sure your copper is not coated with a lacquer and make sure to use in a well ventilated area (the fumes are not toxic but, being sulphur, the smell is very unpleasant)
