<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 889128, member: 15199"]The Jeweluster type of E-Z-est. (1 part) to 9 0r 10 parts of distilled water. No need to get into arguments about ratios. You just want to dilute it so you have minimal effect per seconds in the solution. By diluting it, you slow down the acid action, so you have time to rinse in water and look at the result. you can dip again if not enough to suit you. The Jeweluster as it comes is too concentrated for non-professionals to time correctly, IMO, that is why so many coins are over-dipped and lusterless. After you finish, discard the diluted solution as it should not be poured back into the original bottle. Obviously stop if the luster starts to be affected.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are possibilities of the result being worse than it is now, but the dilution reduces, but not eliminate, such possibilities. No guarantees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
