Have a look on Pinterest there are a number of methods on there including the use of white vinegar alongside bicarbonate.

That is lovely, you have done a cracking job. Something for people like me to aspire to. You and your daughter must be very proud. Congratulations to you all.

I recently got some mixed shot from Cookies and have no problems at all. I have polished all shapes and sizes from large bezel mounts to fine chain. Perhaps I've been lucky. I only fill the barrel to...

When I told her that the old chains would become scrap and their value would be taken off the cost of my making the chain her face fell!! I told her I would put some feelers out and see what I could...

I have been asked if it is possible to make a basic trace chain out of 2 old necklaces - to which I said yes of course. The problem is the customer wants the 2 old necklaces melted down and made...
