Six months have past and it is now time to remove the copper tubes now coated in verdigris. I used six months as the Liber de Coloribus and Mappae Clavicula say for a length of time. Right now, the verdigris coated tubes are sitting on an old fan blade to dry out. Once they have dried out, I'll scrape the verdigris off the copper and weight it on a scale to see how much verdigris was made. Right now after winter passes, I'm planning on repeating this experiment with a few different vinegars and at least one stopping at a different time since the biggest change from 9 weeks to 6 months was the color of the vinegar in the jar.
