I use some chemicals from Rio Grande which I have to dilute to just the right percentage with water, stir them around for just the right amount of time. After too long the chemicals stop working and give my brass a flaky finish (nasty) so I have to remix and start over on those pieces. Then how do I dispose of the chemicals? Pour them down the drain I guess but that doesn't seem right... Plus the sealer I'm using is a liquid dip and they always drip and get too much on them, I completely ruined a batch of postcard charms with my varnish dip that pooled up and got all nasty on them. Your method sounds much easier than all that :) Thanks for the tips!Kristin Friesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554907824835289649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702131422052960871.post-79416832065994980972009-05-26T16:21:17.364-04:002009-05-26T16:21:17.364-04:00Hey Kerry,
