a problem with sterling silver polish
what I do is ,start with silicone polisher white(coarse)and
black(medium) then blue(fine),sometime skip blue,then tripoli and rouge. At the end,I still get dark spot(i do'nt know what's call) after rouge but surface is all smooth, when i try to get miller shine. I 'm having this problem long time,especially sterling silver from casting and larger surface(not casting). I also tried bobbing compound before white sillicone. but not so great. I need miller shine on sterling silver. I 'd be appreciate if anybody give me good tip or nice example or any careful point or How often should i change wheel of tripoli and rouge, etc. thanks in advance. zz212 |

Please read further Lewton-Brain's article on FIRE SCALE at http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/firescal.htm Ganoksin site may also have instructions polishing - though I haven't had time to check. best of luck norwick |
