I have a massive collection of compotes, teapots, creams, sugars and finger bowls that will need a serious polishing before the wedding. I have MAAS which is supposed to be way to go for silver polishing. This heat seems to be making things tarnish even worse right now.
I read online about tarnish strips that you can put inside a sealed bag with your polished item to keep it from tarnishing more. Does anyone know if these work and what type of sealed bag it should go into, airtight or just ziplock? Since we have so many pieces to polish I''d like to get a head start on them but not if they''re just going to start tarnishing again in a month. It''s a big undertaking so ''m trying to figure out how to tackle this best. Also I bought a bottle of stuff from MAAS thats supposed to help with tarnish prevention but since we''re 100+ days out from the wedding and its hot out a silver strip/seal alternative sounds appealing.
Any input or suggestions on how to approach this? I read the thread on ebay about how to polish silver so I chose the MAAS path from that, now to upkeep it! I''d like to do one awesome polish for the wedding without killing ourselves last minute then leave it at that.
Thanks!
