Don't do ironing; positively detest ironing! Luckily, the OH enjoys it

I'd much rather polish than iron. Unfortunately, it's the latter I have to do tonight. I do love getting my fingers dirty and bringing up a shine.

dont iron unless i really have too cos it kills my back, nd i have a tabletop press now to make it a little kinder.

havent hand polishe much really so i cant really comment on it

Hate ironing (I think it's the biggest waste of time), but find polishing and finishing great fun though - but then I spent 3 weeks sanding an entire racecar bodywork ready for production...after that anything jewellery wise seems to pail into insignificance.

I'm not sure if these (sorry cookson's!) are similar, but an old colleague of mine used them to polish watch and clock components to an absolute mirror finish. I remember being stunned when I saw the finish - perfect and all by hand.

I think they can be bought cheaper elsewhere though, just not sure where exactly.

I luuuurve micromesh, it's better than mint chocolate aero.

Following some fab advice I placed an order for the truly spiritual micromesh and my problem pendant is no longer a problem !!!!

Thanks for the brilliant advice, I was getting really vexed ( vexed is actually the polite version) and my sanity has now been restored........allegedly !

Thanks

Ooooo, tried micromesh for the first time and am definitely a convert!
I made some simple earrings out of square wire the other day and parts of it were quite scuffed. Micromesh brought it up a treat.
My earrings are now smooth as silk and shiny as..........a shiny thing.
