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!

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.

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.

What is the best way to repair a handle on a tray? It keeps popping out.
