    Kevin, first of all I do not suggest to anyone to do bombing. 
    It is considerably dangerous.  It is done by heating a sodium
    cyanide solution, covering the items in a corning ware type pot
    and pouring a small amount (1Oz) of hydrogen peroxide 30%  into
    the solution.  You then shake the pot, the solution will foam and
    then it will burst.  Be sure to hold the lid on tight and don't
    drop the pot when it makes the bursting noise. 

    It actually leaves a 24k thin layer on the items.  Personally I
    don't like the look and will not buy anything that has been
    bombed. 

    If you choose to try it good luck and be careful.
