Silver Blueing
I lost my access to usenet so I kind of lost track of this group.
As some of you may remember, I made some hand forged flatware a few years ago. details: http://schmidling.com/silver.htm We use the knife and fork at dinner every day and it gets washed with soap and a Scotchbrite sponge so it stays clean and bright. In the past few months we have noticed that the tines show a blue color reminiscent of the tempering stages while hand forging. It takes a bit of an effort to get rid of but in a few days it comes back again but only the tines. It has been at least 5 years since I made these but the tines never looked any different from the rest of the fork and this problem just started a few months ago. Any ideas?
