I accidentally oxidized a sterling silver necklace that I wanted to
keep shiny silver. ugh.
Is there a way besides rubbing like a solution to completely remove
the midas black oxidizer? I would like all areas of the pendant and
chain to be back to their original shiny silver condition, including
all of the nooks?
I would give the item a couple of full ‘bombs’, then a couple of
partial [not full reaction] bombs, followed by quick dip in a hot
water/cyanide mix, and then into the tumbler [steel or stainless
steel, soap, water].
Many on this site are totally against the old bombing system as much
care must be taken so I expect strong reaction, but some old hands
find new alternative systems much slower.
Not long ago I purchased some Midas Tarnish Remover from Rio. I had a
sterling chain that had become completely discolored and was not
having success polishing it. One dip for about 5 seconds removed the
tarnish completely and it was back to it’s original shiny condition.
Hope this helps.
