Does your brass turn pink after you solder?!? Me too 🙋‍♀️ the best solution I’ve found is to make a batch of super pickle. 50% warm pickle, 50% hydrogen peroxide and when you are done the mixture returns to your pickle pot. It removes that copper “blushing” (love that term) without you having to polish. Always wear proper safety equipment when handling chemicals in your studio! Who has tried this?!? Let me know in the comments or tag a friend you think it might help! #superpickle #polishingbrass #plantstands #corkieboltonjewelry
