How to get it
TheSilversmithReviewed 11 years agoThis Product Will Harm Your Silver!
I'm a professional silversmith specializing in restoration, conservation, and preservation. I have been testing Tarn-X for many years and recording the effects it has on silver. Tarn-X will quickly remove factory-applied patinas (if left in the solution for more than a few seconds) or gradually (if dipped quickly each time the object requires cleaning). You'll notice a soft white surface develop over time. Tarn-X will quickly strip the shine from silver, leaving a dull, lifeless appearance. Tarn-X will cause pitting of the object's surface. These surface defects will act like a sponge and more readily absorb tarnish-producing gases and moisture. The object will eventually require professional polishing to restore the original finish. Tarn-X is made up of acidified thiourea (a known carcinogen). Acids are corrosive and will damage silver, niello, bronze, stainless steel knife blades, and organic materials such as wood and ivory. Tarn-X, when used on objects that have sealed components, such as candlesticks and trophies with hollow feet, or teapots with hollow handles, may leak into the cavity through small holes or imperfections in the joints. At this point, it becomes virtually impossible to wash the chemical out. If you're working on a baby cup with this type of rim, do you really want an infant drinking from it after using Tarn-X?{{userCount} users found this review helpful.Originally posted on jelmar.com- Yes, I recommendAmays0714Reviewed 12 years agoI recieved some silver pieces from my great grandmother about 20 yrs ago and i inally dug them out and cleaned them.
