Bond It Patination Oil – Box of 10

Bond It Patination Oil is a solvent-based surface treatment designed to protect new and restored lead sheet, lead flashings and other leadwork while the natural patina develops.

Applied immediately after lead installation, the oil helps minimise unsightly staining and discolouration that can otherwise occur on newly fitted lead and the building materials below it. It also helps provide a more even appearance to the lead surface while its natural protective patina develops.

Available in 500ml and 1 litre containers, this product is supplied as a full box of 10 bottles.

Patination Oil for New Leadwork

Newly installed lead naturally develops a protective surface patina as it is exposed to the atmosphere.

During the early stages of this process, untreated lead can produce run-off that may cause unsightly staining on the lead itself and surrounding building materials.

Bond It Patination Oil provides a temporary protective surface treatment that helps minimise this staining while allowing the lead’s natural patina to develop.

Suitable for Lead Sheet and Lead Flashings

Bond It Patination Oil is designed for use on new and restored leadwork, making it suitable for a wide range of roofing and construction applications.

Typical uses include:

• Lead sheet roofing
• Lead flashings
• Chimney flashings
• Lead valleys
• Lead aprons
• Lead soakers
• Lead weatherings
• New lead installations
• Restored leadwork

Helps Prevent Unsightly Lead Staining

One of the principal purposes of patination oil is to help prevent the staining associated with newly installed lead.

Applying Bond It Patination Oil helps protect both the lead surface and materials positioned below the leadwork, reducing the risk of unsightly run-off marks while the natural patina develops.

This can be particularly important where lead is installed above visible roofing or building materials.

Provides a More Even Lead Finish

Bond It Patination Oil helps provide a more even colour and appearance to newly installed lead.

The protective coating helps maintain a consistent finish during the initial weathering period while the lead gradually develops its natural patina.

When Should Patination Oil Be Applied?

Bond It Patination Oil should be applied as soon as possible after the leadwork has been installed.

For best results, it should be applied immediately after each stage of the leadwork is completed, rather than waiting until the entire installation has been finished.

Prompt application helps protect the freshly installed lead before atmospheric weathering and staining can occur.

How to Apply Bond It Patination Oil

Apply Bond It Patination Oil using a soft, absorbent cloth.

Work:

1. Horizontally across the lead surface
2. From the top downwards
3. Maintain a wet lower edge as application progresses

This method helps achieve an even coating across the leadwork.

Follow the current Bond It application and safety instructions before use.

What Is Patination Oil Used For?

Patination oil is used to protect newly installed or restored leadwork while its natural patina develops.

It helps minimise staining on the lead and surrounding materials while also promoting a more even appearance during the initial weathering period.

Why Does New Lead Need Patination Oil?

New lead naturally reacts with the atmosphere and gradually develops a protective patina.

During this initial process, run-off from untreated lead can cause staining and discolouration on the lead and materials below it.

Applying patination oil provides a protective surface treatment during this period and helps reduce unsightly staining.

Can Bond It Patination Oil Be Used on Lead Flashing?

Yes. Bond It Patination Oil is designed for new lead sheet and lead flashings.

It can be used on compatible lead roofing details such as chimney flashings, valleys, aprons and other newly installed or restored leadwork.

When Should I Apply Patination Oil to New Lead?

Bond It recommends applying the oil as soon as possible after the leadwork has been completed.

Ideally, it should be applied immediately after each individual stage of the lead installation is finished.

Leaving freshly installed lead untreated before application may allow the initial weathering and staining process to begin.

How Do You Apply Patination Oil?

Apply Bond It Patination Oil with a soft absorbent cloth, working horizontally across the lead.

Work from the top of the leadwork downwards, maintaining a wet lower edge during application to help produce an even finish.

Does Patination Oil Stop Lead from Developing a Patina?

No. Bond It Patination Oil is designed to protect the lead while its natural patina develops.

It helps control the appearance of newly installed lead during this initial weathering process and reduces the risk of staining.

Does Patination Oil Help Protect Materials Below Lead Flashing?

Yes. One of the key purposes of Bond It Patination Oil is to minimise staining on materials positioned below newly installed leadwork.

This can help protect the appearance of surrounding roof and building materials from unsightly lead run-off marks.

How Many Bottles Are in a Box?

Each box contains 10 bottles.

Both available sizes are supplied in boxes of 10:

• 500ml x 10 = 5 litres total
