Here is a brilliant tip to keep patina from getting into certain areas from @drifting_gypsy_designs - โ€œI tried rubber cement one day to prevent a patina in the silver bezel under a transparent stone. To my surprise it worked amazing! A couple layers (drying in between each layer) will help keep bubbles from popping and the LOS from seeping under. The rubber cement peels out so easily, it works like a charm! ๐Ÿ˜‰โ€ Love this idea! Thanks for taking the time to share with us! ๐Ÿ™Œ Also just as a reminder always feel free to follow up if you shared a tip with me and I havenโ€™t responded or shared yet!
