Hi Folks…
Not really about LOS…
About 4 years ago I got some stuff called Procraft Silver Oxidizer
through Grobet…Is alkaline sulphide based…
Mixed up a 50% and 25% dilution with distilled H2O…stored this in
small brown glass bottles… The source bottle I’ve kept tightly
closed, and then sealed in plastic bag…
Recently used the 50% on a silver plated pewter pendant mount in
conjunction with a Roman Coin…stuff worked great…gave me a nice
antiquie finish to the garish plate…
Stinky, though, so ya use with ventilation, avoid contact with skin,
etc…
Interstingly enough…the stuff also works to even out patina on
bronze Roman coins, too…
And before the collectors object to my blasphemy…these were
common coins from cherry picked lots that for some reason were deemed
not salable on their individual merits…usually because one side is
toast, or they had been over cleaned…
Look neat as pendants, though…
