Re: Cleaning Silvered Plated Lamp Reflectors
Post 18 for the lamp-black. I think you can make your own by lighting an acetylene torch and not giving the flame any oxygen. You let it build up on the reflector surface and with a soft cloth polish it. You end up with a super-fine carbon abrasive.

Also wipe in straight lines from the bottom out to the edge, don't wipe in a circle following around the reflector. Best thing to do is probably either have them re-silvered, like you are going to do, or buy Bratton's reflectors. Strange as it sounds I kind of like the look of them yellowed a little looks more authentic and antique. |

Re: Cleaning Silvered Plated Lamp Reflectors
I had Craig do mine maybe 3 years ago and they were $55.00 each. Came out beautiful.

Re: Cleaning Silvered Plated Lamp Reflectors
Sorry for the hijack but it reminded me of a time in my youth. We got to a cheesy motel in the Mohavie desert in the middle of summer, sign said POOL! That pool was a color towards a few shades of green! I noticed a bottle of tidy-bowl blue under the sink and tossed it in the pool that evening. Wow we were surprised how wonderful that pool looked the next morning, and we all took a cooling swim. It is funny what a bottle of bleach and bluing will do. I wonder what the manager of the place thought had transpired?
