Antique Brown® M38 solution or gel from Birchwood Casey reportedly makes it easy to achieve oil-rubbed bronze and leather brown finishes. The liquid product can be applied as an immersion browning solution or as a brush-on. For immersion tank application, the concentrate is diluted with water to form a dipping solution. Parts are carried on racks or baskets and immersed for 1 to 4 minutes. This method works best for large-volume, factory-scale work and can be set up based on the part volume. Alternatively, the liquid can be used as a brush-on browning solution for larger surfaces or a small number of parts.

The gel is a thickened version of the product designed for application on large flat surfaces or for components that are already installed, such as wall panels, handrails, sculpture, etc. The gel works with the same color formation and timing as the liquid while staying in place where applied without forming runs and drips. Applied directly on clean metal surfaces, the gel forms brown colors only - no black - with a reaction that is somewhat slower than standard antiquing products. This characteristic gives the user a high degree of control over the coloring process.
