    hello, i have just got a braclet  back from my silversmith tutor whom
    i asked to matt finish it. However it is mor what i would call
    Frosted, with heavy grain on it. 

    I have sanded it down again and would like to try and get the matt
    finish i wanted. I read somewhere that steel wool and detergent would
    do it. I need to get it ready for a friend whom is going to buy it,
    and i wondered if this technique would work , or if there are any
    other ways people have used to  get this effect by hand? 

    At the present i have no polishing machine or access to one as its
    end of term!! regards 

nikky
