Aluminum jelly at work

[brnn53]

If you ever wondered what this jelly will do to a button with some gilt check this out. I dug this at a homesite that saw lots of CW activity.

where can you buy aluminum jelly?

 

[brnn53]

Some hardware stores may carry it. This is not naval jelly but aluminum jelly. Do not use unless you see gold gilt visible because it will discolor and may eat the metal away otherwise. Here is where I got mine.

I used some of this Aluminum Jelly on some flat buttons that had a little bit of gold on them.When I put it on the button with a Q-tip I couldn't believe how much gilt really was on the button.Normally all I do is rinse and lightly rub with soft toothbrush.

BUT THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!
