Comment by Jeffrey Herman on May 19, 2012 at 12:02pm Silver Polish Abrasion Ratings
Do you love the polish you're currently using because it removes tarnish at light speed? Are you recommending it to all your friends? If so, you may very well be ruining your sterling, and especially your silverplated objects! See how your polish rates among many others – you may be VERY surprised!

Comment by Jeffrey Herman on March 18, 2012 at 10:50am From my Silver Care page: Hello Lillian, The most secure way to reattach that handle would be to clean out the tubing, reinsert the rod, and solder it. Cost for that procedure would be approximately $60.

Okay - done that. Thanks.
Jeffrey???
Post this in Jeff's group Lillian - I think it's silver care and restoration? I want to post a link to his group at the top of our group page, but I'm not sure how??
E6000 works great for jewelry repairs, perhaps it will work here. It's an automotive adhesive.
