    Iris, Thanks for the tip about peroxide plus pickle. I have a
    bothersome amount of copper flashing when I go through the
    hammer-anneal-pickle-hammer-anneal-pickle cycle on my hammered
    silver work. Over a period of time miroscopic amounts of the
    hammers and stakes are eroded into the silver surface and tend to
    catalyze it despite the most vigourous scouring and diligent
    boric acid dipping. 

Georgie
