I use them on Polymer Clay and they work extremely well!!! Ive never tried to polish anything else. For my polymer clay I start at the top and work my way down and the results are fabulous!!!

Chances are no. I can't say definitively because I've never tried it. This kit was made for melting lead. (melting point 650 F) and I use it for working with pewter (tin, melting point 450 F). Silver requires around 1500 F to melt. This kit is inexpensive and works well for what it was designed for. It *might* heat up hot enough for silver, maybe, but it will likely burn out quickly and stop working. Silver smelters cost more because they get a lot hotter and require a better construction to handle the heat. If you're making silver jewelry you will also want a finer set of tools. The size of this smelter (I melt a couple lbs at a time) requires more in materials to be manageable. Pewter and lead are inexpensive. I would want a smaller smelter for silver and do it in ounces.

Use Maas after polishing. Spouse says silver does not retarnish. It is a preservative. "Works great."

It is mildly abrasive. If the surface you are polishing has a top coat, it will dull it. If the surface is a solid material such as copper, silver, or stainless steel, it will remove tarnish and give it a shine. It's the best stuff I've used but a person should be mindful regarding what they are using it on.

It will work well on all soft metals including nickel, using normal polishing media. Steel will require a more aggressive media ie: walnut shell with emery or some like compound. Silver, white bronze, and pewter should use white jeweler's rouge.

It's great on copper but that's all I've used it on. Did you read the container? They usually say what you can use it on.

You could give it a try, i was able to turn a brass bullet casing silver just to see if it would. It may be kind of difficult to work the Nushine into all the little areas there are on a chain, it takes a lot of polishing with the product to get something with no silver color tint in it to start to turn silver.

I use it mostly on wood but, used wet, it will put a mirror shine on brass quickly so I would expect it to work similarly on silver. When wet sanding brass, even the finest, 12,000 grit, pad will remove material pretty fast (considering that it leaves a mirror finish) so be careful when using it on silver if you have fine detail or a plated surface. Sometimes the only thing silver needs to restore it's high gloss is to remove the tarnish so a chemical silver polish works very well if you don't have scratches to polish out.

Best polish on the market for copper and brass. I use it all the time. Brings teapot and range hood to a bright shine.

I have used Wenol polish on my pots and pans and have had great results; however, they do not have a painted baked on enamel finish. This polish works wonders on silver, both present day and old tarnish pieces. The secret to maintaining a long polish is a clean soft cloth and rubbing small areas at a time (after it dries) until the cloth no longer shows any black - your object will shine for months. Also, for your enamel cookware have you tried using the soap from an SOS pad but using a non-abrasive cloth/sponge?

I believe you are asking if you can use the Blue Magic polish on forged steel golf clubs? But I have been using this product for many years. I first discovered it at my antique shows to clean fine silver and it's great. It also cleans brass and although I have never used it on golf clubs (but now I think I should check my husband's clubs and clean them if they need it!) but I would certainly think this would be a good product to use. I have brass lamps and it does a great job on those. I wouldn't be without this product!

Yes yes..my mom became expert in polishing very old, tarnished copper pots and kettles.i.that she bought in the junk stores in 50's England.the only hesitation I have is does your copper have a coating of any sort,don't know about that. Sharon

Honestly I think it could melt low temp metals. I dont know the melting point of copper. On large pieces, given some time, I do think it would melt soldering materials. I hope this helps.

Not sure, have just used it on copper. Would be afraid it might hurt silver.

I'm not a jeweler but I wouldn't recommend it. I use extreme caution when using metal polishing cloths on stones. depending on how porous the stone is, the chemicals from the cloth could make the stone brittle or discolored.

I have not used this product on polished aluminum, however, I would not hesitate trying it. Had no negative effects on items such as antique nickle and copper plate also various steels and unpolished aluminum. Is the aluminum polished, or coated. If coated, its possible that it could remove the coating (as most other polishes and cleaners will do).

I use mine on bronze brass and aluminum regularly making finer adjustments in the surface. Hard grinding on a grinding wheel on the bench next to this device. The two machines work well together.
