The "French Hot Process Hoax"

Some copper sink resellers are touting a patina process called the "French Hot Process". My head is about to explode. There is NO process that I am aware of that is at all permanent in the bowl of a copper sink. Once that nice dark "French Process Patina" is removed, the result is a sink that looks like it has a problem. 

Worse yet, these companies refuse to indicate the country of origin of their sinks. 

Consumers should inform themselves. Ask, and get it in writing, where the sinks are manufactured. Any copper sink that does not have a natural old penny coloration in the bowl is going to be a problem if the sink is used in a kitchen.
