    Thank you to all who so promptly responded to my query about applying
    Pripps. I had already begun to simply apply it to the warm/hot
    surface of the cup w/ a brush as many suggested which works fine but
    is quite a bit slower. I found a "mouth driven" blowpipe type
    atomizer-- a venturi tube-- at Seattle Pottery and, while it seemed
    to work, was not in the end as efficient as simple brush application.

    If I were to continue raising or working on larger sterling objects
    I would most certainly by a simple airbrush and run it off my
    compressor-- as many also suggested. That would definitely solve the
    problem.  But for now, most of the raising is completed, plannishing
    has commenced and I can see the light at the end of the tunnle. 

    Cynthia-- Argentum would have been a great choice, but I patina the
    majority of my work and any de-ox alloy would thwart that approach. 
    Wouldn't it?  Or can you chemically oxidize this alloy? Also does it
    depletion guild? 

Take care all and thanks again.
