CLEANING SILVER, BRASS OR COPPER.
In the course of our work we often meet with tarnished metal ornaments, which must be cleaned to make our work look well.
This preparation is a good one:
| Paris white (fine) | 1 | pound |
| Carb. magnesia | 2 | drams |
| Cyanuret potash | 7 | drams |
| Sulph. ether | 3 | drams |
| Crocus martis | 1 | dram |
| Soft water | 1½ | ounces |
| or sufficient to make a stiff paste. | ||
Mix by rubbing, add the paris white last, then stir into the water. Apply with a rag or sponge, and rub dry and polish with a rag or canton flannel.
