How to remove the protective coating on silver and brass.?
This coating is ok when it is undamaged, but when some has scratched or worn off and some has not, there are areas of oxidation and areas of "like new" shine. I tried removing this on an old piece of brass and it came off rather easily with nail polish remiover, but I think this was quite worn and thin already. Now I have a piece of silverplate with this coating on most of it, I tried the nailpolish remover and it is not really working. Does anyone known of a simple way of removing this clearcoat ...

nail polish remover is just acetone,,,apply a generous amount ( mineral spirits may be more gentle ) on a rag,,,,and rub hard,,,,the coating is most likely an enamel clear coat...(Answered by Dr. Biker) |
