Separate tools / equipment for working with 925 silver and with copper
Hi folks, very newbie question here.
I will be working with both silver & copper as I like both.
I know not to put copper (or steel tools) into the silver pickle, and I think I was told not to put copper peices into the same barrel as silver pieces ... ie use a 2nd barrel, but does this need to avoid contamination be taken further ?
So, can you use saw blades & files on both, or are 2 sets needed? Even though files are periodically cleaned off, surely some metal would transfer? Or would it be too little to worry about?
Many thanks, Hal
