Aging a Galvanized Clock
I wanted to personalize this generic galvanized metal clock from Target. I removed the clock mechanisim, and spritzed the entire surface with bleach. Just plain bleach. Then left it in the sun for a few hours.
WOW, I couldn't be happier with the results...
Now, I'm wondering, "what other galvanized things can I age?"

I notice a bottle of vinegar sitting beside your project. Did you spray it with bleach or vinegar?
