Ammonium chloride (salammontac). The saturated ammonium chloride solution can be applied by brush or spray on a thoroughly clean copper surface. Several applications may be required. Frank Lloyd Wright favored this formula. Wright specified that the solution be mixed 24 h prior to its use. Two applications should be made with a lapse of 48 h between the two. Twenty-four hours after the final application, the copper surface should be sprayed with a cold water mist. Wright emphasized that dry weather was required throughout the entire period. The ammonium chloride solution tends to chalk and flake if applied too heavily and is also apt to dissipate in heavy rain.
