<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 11287316, member: 36"]On a testing stone, that's how it works. If you apply 18k acid directly to silverplate on brass, it bubbles up and the foam turns green. I'm not sure about applying it to the real stuff. There's a difference between real silver and silver on white metal, but I'm not good enough to know how to tell someone to sort that one out. The stone is a lot easier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
