    Yep! I'm new at this as I'm sure my  following question will
    prove, but any suggestions  you can offer will be really
    appreciated! I'm making some earrings out of square wire and 26g.
    sheet.(sterling)  After soldering, I used 280 grit emery paper
    on the sheet and then polished with tripoli, white diamond and
    fabulustre (in that order). I keep thinking the fine scratches
    would polish out, but...... I have figured out that I SHOULD have
    used some finer emery paper, but since I didn't, I'm wondering if
    there's anything that can be done without repeating the entire
    process.  I was trying to achieve a mirror finish. Not only am I
    feeling too lazy to repeat the whole deal, but the thin gauge of
    the sheet has me a little nervous as well.

        Thanks!
        Mollie
