All,

    Another trick for those who have copper plated their silver work of
    art by not removing the soft iron binding wire before putting the
    piece in the pickle following the last soldering.....you can remove
    the copper plating by dipping out a bit of the pickle in a pyrex
    glass jar and adding a teaspoon of hydrogen perioxide. Place the
    piece into this mix and let it set for a few minutes. The surface of
    the piece will begin to fizz and the copper will disappear!
