The product used to patina zinc is cupric sulfate. I believe that is the blue liquid she is using. I have used it on my own zinc table and it works great. Table must be sealed afterwards or the patina will eventually wear off. Cupric sulfate and all zinc related products can be obtained from RotoMetals in San Leandro, CA. They have a lot of CZcams tutorials as well.

Thanks for the video, Amy! I have some ideas for projects which would look lovely with a zinc-like finish. Do you have any advice how to create such a look with paint?

Hi Cheryl, We reached out to the Amy Howard team and they suggest you mix Glazed Over with several
different grays (separately). Sponge each color on surface allowing each color dry before the next. Good luck!
