<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3729155, member: 18716"]I've not heard of Tarnex, we have Goddards silver dip in the UK. It's not appropriate for set jewellery, but for some pieces of solid silver, say like a cast nurses buckle, or undercuts in repousse work there really isn't any alternative if you want it shiny. Polishing using a lathe brush takes too long and still won't get to all the detail and even using a swans down you will polish down fine detail by the time you have got all the tarnish out. It does still need a thorough wash then a polish after the dip, like silvo for manual work or jewellers rouge, but it only needs a really light polish after. I find this is much better than trying to abrasive polish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
