Can this be used on silver plated items?

I would always check the manufacturers web site before I used any product to polish any type of "plated" surface, not just silver but copper, brass, etc.

We have always used Hagertys on sterling silver and stainless. It is gentle, but strong enough to do the job!

This works on a number of slick surfaces I have tried, so I think if it works on porcelain/ceramic then it will work on silver which is similarly slick (and silver plates/trays tend to actually be lighter than ceramic). I have used this on a variety of surfaces and been very pleased.

From Wenol website:S I L V E R & G O L D Soft metals can be damaged without proper care. We recommend using only very soft polishing cloths on these materials and only after determining that the material is not silver or g old plating . Silver or gold plating requires extreme care and very gentle touch or the rubbing could remove a portion of the plated surface. Rub WENOL &#63194; into the cloth before polishing and apply gently . NEVER use paper towels to polish silver and gold. Silver should be washed in warm, soapy water after polishing and your silver should be sparkling for months

Use a very small amount; but then, that is true for all usage. I use it on my silver/silver plated jewelry with a soft whit cloth or soft/durable paper towel. I have used it on EPNS silverware & flatware and so long as the silver plate/rhodium plate is not faded/gone then it should bring it up. Otherwise the base metal will come through, but this stuff is the least abrasive of any polish so I use it on everything.

I have had good luck with removing tarnish from silver. I believe its chemically as the blue magic does not scratch or feel gritty.

Chances are no. I can't say definitively because I've never tried it. This kit was made for melting lead. (melting point 650 F) and I use it for working with pewter (tin, melting point 450 F). Silver requires around 1500 F to melt. This kit is inexpensive and works well for what it was designed for. It *might* heat up hot enough for silver, maybe, but it will likely burn out quickly and stop working. Silver smelters cost more because they get a lot hotter and require a better construction to handle the heat. If you're making silver jewelry you will also want a finer set of tools. The size of this smelter (I melt a couple lbs at a time) requires more in materials to be manageable. Pewter and lead are inexpensive. I would want a smaller smelter for silver and do it in ounces.

I tried it on an old silver spoon. It brightened up the spots that were not overly tarnished, but didn't do much for the parts that were black with tarnish. I may use it for silver that is just a little dull, but it certainly can not compare to real silver polish.

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

No. I think these are excellent for use on achieving an amazing finish on wood but would not recommend them for polishing sterling silver. Unless it was an item that was damaged and being restored. Even under those circumstances I think using wet dry silicone sandpaper in fine grits would be best then followed by using Maas and then Renaissance wax to polish it.

I have only used it on silver and gold so far with great results. Maybe try a small amount on the clasp and see what happens?

I really don't know but I wouldn't chance it, with the experience I've had, I'm pretty sure it would scratch the silver, not polish it.

I do not know about using this product for gold jewelry . I just used it for silver items. Sorry for replying so late.

I don't know - I've only used it on silverplated articles where the plate was wearing thin.

They work well on china plates but make sure to follow directions. If it were me, I would try them on silver platters but use more than one.

Do not use on sliver ware, or it will turn to gold. And once it is on you can'take it off, it is pernanent.

I have a couple of antique silver spoons that do okay with it. I never polish them but they're still tarnish free, just a dull silver look.
