Why does bronze and brass turn green?
What are some other ways that people can prevent the green patina from forming on bronze or brass?
Some people prefer to remove the patina from bronze or brass using abrasive materials like sandpaper or steel wool. However, this can also remove the protective layer on the surface of the metal, which may cause it to oxidize more rapidly in the future. Regular cleaning and waxing can also help to slow down the formation of patina.
