      I just love how simple this is - boil water, put silver and a spoon of regular table salt in tin foil - put in water - wait 30 seconds and done …if I'd paid more attention in Chemistry I would be able to remember the chemical reaction....

      Can't Beats the feeling.

        For those curious: it's not an actual chemical reaction. It's more of a physical process. Silver oxide has a higher affinity towards aluminum in a saltwater environment than to pure silver. You're kind of sort of electroplating here

          So: would leaving it for longer than 30 seconds also make it cleaner, or doesn't it work that way?..

            I almost killed myself doing school assignment (practicing some rendering softwares), but after 3 days, at least it doesn't look that bad.

                If you feel that there is still tarnish left, fresh salt and fresh water and new aluminum would probably work better.

                                Just as I said – I returned $360 bucks poorer. Here's me and Lacy standing in front of the vet clinic this morning -- waiting for her 9 AM appointment. This clinic is walking distance from my house, and Lacy's been going to this doc since the age of 3 (when I first moved to Oak-town, which was 7 years ago). I was actually still in my 30s when I first moved to Oakland...faint memory !

                                What I'm wearing :
                                Leather pimp hat which I bought in Oakland
                                IHSH-16 in Indigo - Heavy Chambray – from Giles UK (XS)
                                Oakland T from www.pure510.com (United Bay with all the area codes)
                                IH Super Tan Belt from SESF (W32)
                                IH 301S from SESF (W28)
                                "Blue Tie Dyed" Sperry Topsiders from zappos (6)

                                PS. I found my shoes. Sperry Topsiders ! They are light and comfortable as ever ! I wear em mostly sock-less, and walk a million miles in em. Ever since I've discovered Sperrys, I've kinda ditched the Danskos. I mean, I still have them…but I wear them less, and mostly only during the rainy Bay Area winters.

                                    That's awesome ! Thanks Katsushin. I have a serious fondness for the 1970s era !! Don't know if you've ever watched the 2007 movie "Talk To Me" starring Don Cheatle – but he and his girl epitomize the look you're referring to in that movie...a look which I love.

                                      The area you're standing in doesn't look like it's changed much since then and adds a little somethin somethin'...
