Hello, we're polishing our piece now. This is Marie French, at Expert Village. Now, some
people don't like to polish this piece after it's blacked and antiqued. Personally, it
gets a little too black, so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to take my polishing
cloth; it's called a Fabulustre. Now the one side is actually red rouge, and the second
side is like a chamois cloth. So what I usually do is I'll take the piece, and I'll look for
where I need to even out the black of the liver of sulfur, and I'll work on kind of
squishing that piece of fabric around into the nooks and crannies. So we'll go through
to try to make this piece look even or equal on all sides so that we have a good feeling
for the way the the piece is going to look on, because this is our finishing touch. This
is what really makes the piece. So, we'll go ahead, and we'll use the red rouge, and
now we'll go to the chamois cloth, and again, go down the piece, trying to make sure that
the the polishing compound; the red rouge is off the piece. We're cleaning off different
parts of this chain, which is usually the hardest part to go ahead and clean. Then you
have your finished product; enjoy.
