The patinas on some Frogman sculptures are “silver nitrate.” What does that mean?
It has taken years of creative experimentation to develop the truly unique, colorful patinas that are a distinguishing feature of Frogman sculptures. A variety of heat-sensitive chemicals and colorful dyes are combined, some with intense heat, to create the colors and the finishes you see. One such chemical is silver nitrate. At the Frogman foundry, this chemical is applied with a technique that creates an iridescent quality giving the finish a prismatic luster especially in direct light.
