Secret potion

[Graziano]

I hope I have posted in the right section. It is a tool I guess. I would like to share with you if you don't already know a way to bring back the shine on old pocket watch movements. In the photos I grabbed an old barrel from the parts bin and dipped it in Shinebrite for about 10 Min. Then I placed it on bolsa wood and give it a scub with a medium hardness small paint brush for a few more minutes. Rinse it under the tap and yeah the shine is back. I do this with stained plated movements as well. Gets rid of tarnish better than other methods I know.

Definitly nice and shiny now.  If Shine bright  is the same as the UK silverdip it will contain mild abrasives and ammonia, just have a careful sniff. it will clear you sinuses.

This one is made in USA no ammonia it contains acidified thiourea no abrasives. But of course as with all chemicals. Handle with care.
