The baking soda only changes the LOS solution from slightly acidic to a more neutral solution. It does NOT remove the sulfur from the solution. Even drying out the LOS solution won't remove the sulfur from the solution. It will just end up dry on the surface of the container.

We only sell the yellow so that is all we are familiar with. Sometimes the other colors either have a bit of grit to them or have a different polishing compound.

The Lortone Tumbler we use to clean, polish and work harden metal. It is used with stainless steel shot and a burnishing compound. We have a video for the Lortone Tumbler. You can check it out (link below). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN2Hh7Vzzde8foE.html

+charlotte woodley Hi Charlotte, sorry for the late reply! You could use ink, or enamel paint or gilders paste. Check them out on our site :) www.beaducation.com/home/search?qry=pat005%2C+pat010%2C+pat014

Hi Moshe, the black does rub off on the surface but will stay deep in the engravings/stampings because nothing is coming into contact with those deep spots. Liver of Sulfur holds for a very long time, but again, only in the deep impressions.

+Fleur Miranda Sheaf Hi Fleur. Stainless can be tricky. Like all metals, it can come in different "hardnesses". Most stainless is pretty hard by nature but can be stamped on by stamps rated specifically to stamp on stainless. If you use other stamps not made for stainless, you will ruin the stamp. Engraving is also do-able on stainless but because it is hard, you will go through bits pretty fast. So there is no right or wrong, just a few things to consider. Hope this helps :)

Hi Chris! This is a great question. Obviously there are an endless amount of techniques to patina metal. So, I can't speak to them all. If you're concerned I would consider sealing your pieces once they're complete. This will protect the patina, but also put a layer between the wearer and the patina. We offer a few choices of sealers on our site. I've linked them below: Jewelry Shield: www.beaducation.com/p/1526-jewelry-making-tools-jewelry-shield Renaissance Wax www.beaducation.com/p/2069-jewelry-making-tools-renaissance-wax-2-ounces Glaze Metal Sealer www.beaducation.com/p/3421-enamel-mixed-media-glaze-metal-sealer-2-ounces

Fab, thankyou

It can last many years and has greater longevity than the solid form. Liquid Liver of Sulfur will weaken over years but if you keep it super airtight and in a cool dark place, it will extend the shelf life. We have a "working" bottle that has lasted years without a noticeable decline.

We have used the liver of sulfur gel and it works great. We no longer carry it in our shop. This product if for oxidizing (darkening) the metal. Pick solution is to remove fire scale from a piece you have soldered (firing with a torch).

Hi, you can use Liver of Sulfur to oxidize your sterling without damaging the stone. Have fun!

Thank you for the info,

silver is darkened with LOS as a sulphide. not an oxide

Hi Michal, you can try sealing it with a Spray Adhesive found at craft or hardware stores or you can use our Glaze Metal Sealer www.beaducation.com/zen_products/3421-glaze-metal-sealer.

beaducation Thank you for your answer:)1/.My band is with a matte finish and I would like it to stay like this.Is the Glaze Metal Sealer will keep my matte finish?.2/.Do you send this product overseas?

Liver of Sulphur

If you are doing a lot of polishing, I would invest in some sort of polishing wheel.

Sorry, hit send too soon, I would look for a large wheel that you just hold the piece against, maybe something with large radials or a buffing wheel. We don't sell that on our site but you could try Rio Grande :)
