Let's talk about polishing up the copper(or silver) after it has been oxidized. First I use some extra fine steel wool and soap and water. Next, after everything is completely dry, I go in with a Pro Polishing pad. Finally, the last step is a Sunshine cloth which imparts a beautiful glossy shine. I purchased the Pro polishing pads, Sunshine cloth, and also the liver of sulfur gel (mixed with water to form the yellow liquid used to oxidize) from RioGrande.com @riogrande #riojeweler #oxidizing #ox
