How can I accelerate the rusting process (Corten steel)?

During transport and storage, Corten steel is coated with a protective layer that must first wear away. The development of the characteristic patina on your fire bowl—whether TRIPLE, BEER BOX, CRATE, or ELLIPSE—depends on frequency of use and exposure to the elements. Typically, it takes around 1.5 to 2 years for the full patina to develop naturally. Looking to accelerate the rust effect and achieve an even surface more quickly? We recommend “Corten Plus” for fast, uniform patination. Go to Corten Plus Shop
