brass pieces (lacquered or
unlacquered )

Begin by pouring 3-4 hsp.
oF ammenia into a small con-
tainer and place upright ina
plasne bag. Put vour brass
picees around the container
and caretilly seal the bag.

look wat 34 days. The trek is
to caretilly monitor the took
that as tntnspiring inside the
bag Once the desired took has
been achieved simply remove
the pieces trom the baz. It’s a
good idea to experiment a little

using the real items. This tech-
nique to treat brass is incredibly
easy, and Pothink vail be
