How can I remove tarnish from old bulk spool of tinsel ??
Hi all
I bought a bulk spool of silver tinsel a number of years ago and it was meant to last forever. However after 3 or 4 years the tinsel started showing signs of tarnishing. In my wisdom I cut a piece and dipped it in the wifes silver cleaning dip and it came up sparkling bright. So a few days later I decided to dip the whole spool (when the wife was out of course) anyway the spool was sparkling bright and I was very pleased with it. Then a week later I went to tie a fly and the tinsel had seriously tarnished to a very dull grey. I think there must have been a reaction with the air afterwards and I appear to have lost a huge spool of oval silver tinsel. :-( I did thoroughly wash the spool after dipping but I'm afraid it did'nt stop the reaction. Does anyone know of a safer dip that would remove the tarnish again and not have a reaction so soon afterwards. (1 week) Thanks in advance for any offers of advice. |
