Sterling Silver Sheet - Annealed or not annealed? That is my question!

[Viverre]

I was hoping someone here could tell me if the sterling silver sheet (specifically 0.50mm) arrives fully annealed or not? I really need to know before I purchase it. Thanks! :D

It's sold as fully annealed. I still end up doing it again most of the time though :)

[Viverre]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! :)

Just remember that if you do anneal it again, then protect the surface from firescale, especially if you are annealing it with a torch.

Try using Auflux or an equal mixture of borax powder and borasic powder mixed with meths.

Magic Boric (http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/7/0/1141.aspx) (affectionately known to many of us as Magic Boris) is a brilliant solution for avoiding firescale.

It says that Magic Boris doesn't evaporate, Di. Do you pour it into a dish and keep it there? Does it eventually get dirty?

it Cyrstalizes so you add more water Lindy, it does get dirty i just tend to dip my stuff in more often during heating to build up a coating
