Hi thanks for watching and commenting. I did make an embossed book cover with aluminum cans and alcohol ink. I am not very experienced using alcohol ink but I like the way it turned out. You can check it out here if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/um3yrdd-xPY/v-deo.html
Perfect. I am planning to make a tin pannel ceiling with a relief design in copper finish in my cabin. It needs to be metal for fireproofing over my woodstove. Real ones are extremely expensive so I am planning on making my own. This way I can have the look I want without breaking the bank with real copper sheet. Thank you for sharing.
@@janicescragg2388 I want to do something dramatic and beautiful on my kitchen ceiling and now I'm thinking I might do the same. Mine doesn't have to be fireproof so I can actually just paint the ceiling copper and then do the finish.
The inside of the can has a thin coat of resin/polymer based plastic to protect the contents from leaching out the Aluminium also the design ink is epoxy/acrylic based , so the metallic spray paint should coat well both sides as long as clean / degreased. Good looking copper effect👍 Gaz UK.
This looks like a lot of fun, and I am definitely going to try it. Now I just have to find some aluminum cans, I don’t drink pop, and I live alone so I’m going to ask some family members to save their cans for me. A great way to distribute that paint would be dabbing with a sea sponge. Another way to get call textures is to come pull up some saran wrap and then open it up a little bit and lay it flat on your painted wet surface and let it dry. It will give a nice texture.
Hi thanks for your question. I made the aluminum tiles just to practice the finish but I used the finish on theses garden markers. ua-cam.com/video/8BUyVOt0l4g/v-deo.htmlsi=VyjYurAGphjEt57c and these little tins made from aluminum cans. ua-cam.com/video/nI6tqvNu2E0/v-deo.htmlsi=8khx7QOg7wstldal Thanks for watching 😊
@@UpcycleDesignLab thanks again..I got some cans off my neighbour so im ready to start cutting n painting and embossing. Then onto the steampunk fridge. Cheers xx
@@UpcycleDesignLab haha Thanku Im hoping it will be, at the moment my dining table is completely covered in all sorts of bits n bobs, copper fittings, pipes, hoses, gauges and a huge asst of other bits of junk, I've painted all I need to and prepped everything, which is the easy part, its the assembly of all the pieces now...🙄🥴😳 Steampunk looks like a bit of a pile of junk but putting it all together so it looks like a working mechanical machine is quite hard, I never really got into jigsaws which I think would help fit pieces together but I've worked on my car and a few Harley Davidsons so I should be ok hahaha. Fingers crossed and thanku for replying 🥰
I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but the specific nozzle is what helps make the hammered spray paint have that "hammered" look, as well as some paint additives. I don't know if this applies to every hammered look paint though!
Hi - I haven't found any glue that is great for this purpose. E6000 will hold but it is hard to spread evenly. I have also used clear mounting tape that is made for metal but it is thick and doesn't make a flat even seam. My favorite product for attaching the sheets together is metal tape but it has its own draw backs. It is visible and it is not a very strong tape but it is very tacky and easy to work with. Hope that helps thanks for watching 😊
Thank you so much Cindy, I really really love ❤️ those coppered samples. And I really really love ❤️ the results too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
Hi Wendy - sorry for the confusion in this video I was just showing how I created the finish. I have used it on lots of projects. Here is one of them ua-cam.com/video/8BUyVOt0l4g/v-deo.html
the hammered tip is the standard spray can tip ... the larger tip on the other copper is a micro spray tip ... the hammered has flockulent in it ... the other two dont ...
@@UpcycleDesignLab something else you could do for that real copper look ... electroless plating and electro plating ... electroless using a chemical reaction the other a basic battery and chunk of copper tube or bar etc ...
I love your technique I will give this a try
Thanks for watching. I am happy you are inspired.
You could use alcohol inks and have fun spraying isopropyl alcohol on top! Mind is blown! Got so many ideas!

Your ceiling is going to be gorgeous!!!!!

I love this idea!

Hi Vivian - thanks for watching. I hope you have fun with your crafting. 🙂
Love these. I think I'm going to give it a try
Hi Barb I hope you enjoy the painting technique. I have used it on quite a few projects for my yard and garden. Thanks for watching. 🙂
This is a great idea!
Many thanks!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
You could switch the nozzles on the spray cans
Thanks for the tip
You always give us so much info. Thank you for your time in doing the research! 👏👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hi thanks 😊
Love the colors. So fun to try different techniques
Thanks it was fun to play with the paint colors and make a few messes. It kind of reminded me of my childhood finger painting days. 😁
Love this. Can't wait to give it a try. ❤
Hope you like it! Thanks for watching 😊
Magnificent art
Thanks
wonderful... finally how would you use one of these ?

Love these!!!! They turned out beautifully! I've only ever used the Rustoleum Hammered Copper spray paint. It's my fave!!!
I have liked the way all the copper projects have turned out but I my favorite copper color is the rustoleum bright.
@@UpcycleDesignLab It's very pretty. And now that you've shown an easy way to get the hammered look I'll give that color a try!
Absolutely love this. Great ideas
Thanks 😊
Thank you for the video.
Hi Terry Thanks for watching.
Very cool idea! Thanks!

@@karenmusa3052 enjoy your project. I love the steampunk look do you post your work anywhere? I would love to see it. 🙂
I was in AWE, never knew how to do this, but how do you seal it?
Hi thanks for watching. I like to use DuraClear Gloss Varnish it comes in other finishes as well if you don't like the shiny look.
THANK you❤❤❤❤
❤Awesome ideas
Thanks Kelly 😊

I wondered if that might be the case. Thanks for watching.
Hi love you videos. Can you glue sheets together to make a bigger sheet

I wonder if applying the paint with a sponge would provide added texture like actual patina has?
Hi Janet - That's a good tip. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much Cindy, I really really love ❤️ those coppered samples. And I really really love ❤️ the results too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
You too Mags. 😊 thanks
I am confused. What do you do with it after you have finished painting it.
Hi Wendy - sorry for the confusion in this video I was just showing how I created the finish. I have used it on lots of projects. Here is one of them ua-cam.com/video/8BUyVOt0l4g/v-deo.html
I wish someone would make a kitchen back splash out of these
That's a fun idea. If we ever remodel our kitchen again I will consider it. Thanks for watching 😊
I wonder if you could copper plate the aluminum
I just looked up that question and the answer is yes which is very very interesting
Thanks I have never used copper plate so I don't know anything about it.

Hi Paula - I believe that I have added subtitles in Portuguese. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. 🙂
@@UpcycleDesignLab Olá. Desculpe,tem legendas. Tola,não reparei. Obrigado!!!! Bjssss Portugal.
So Patina samples? 🤔
Yes I have used this finish on several projects like this one. ua-cam.com/video/nI6tqvNu2E0/v-deo.html
What are you going to do with them?
I have been working on some garden markers using this technique and I may come up with some other projects. Thanks again for watching.
I think alcohol ink would have been better than acrylics for giving an aged patina look.
They might have but I am not very good at working with alcohol inks. Thanks for watching.
Hammered finish paint is more like a stone paint
Thanks Elizabeth 😊
👍
Thank you.
👏👏👍🌟
Just use copper
