Wow this is the most helpful video I've found on the subject. For some reason RU-vid recommends other videos that aren't nearly as helpful. Perhaps you could try playing with the title (at home, DIY, easy, etc). Edit: after soaking my silver ring in 5% white vinegar for about 8 hours, it has barely darkened. How long do you recommend it sit? Does temperature matter? Sunlight?
This is an incredible resource, wonderfully informative and to the point. I'm so glad I found this. I have a disc pendant that's engraved with writing that's quite faint. I wish to oxidize the lettering so that it would be more readable. How can I make sure only the engraving blackens and not the entire disc? (Like in the cutlery you showed). Also the pendant has enameled flowers, will they be damaged? Thank you
I’ve had mine sitting in mustard for a day, vinegar for a day, and no oxidation has occurred. Is it possible both of my jewelry pieces are not real silver, or is there another possible reason?
@@HuiyiTan for sure , thank you for taking the time to make the videos and answer all the questions you know we have and for sharing all your experiences. I am also on my journey but I need to save up for pneumatic machine . I am between the Lindsay machine, pulsegraver or grs . I know better than to buy a cheap one unless you know of an acceptable one that will give good results , then please share it . Thank you again
Muchas gracias por este interesante video 🤩, es muy útil para mí 💪🏼 Tu forma tranquila de hablar me permite entender la mayor parte de las instrucciones Sigue por favor 🙏🏼 haciendo más videos ❤
Great point! Both baking soda and baking powder can be used to stop the reaction in this case. I don’t have baking powder here, so I use baking soda instead. I should have mentioned that in the video.
