Hi all i have a strip of metal that i have engraved that i now want to bend to form the bracelet , its german silver/nickel silver , its about 2mm thick.
should i anneal ? if so , is it tourch it until pink then leave to cool at room temperature ?
im thinking of using my non marking mallet around a baseball bat with sum cloth wrapped round ?
also , is black( spped ball) ink any good for blackening " its what i have to hand.
should i polish before or after blackening has dried ?
ive got semi chrome knocking about or some brass polish ??
Sorry , its my first bracelet and only the second project ive done.
thanks
