Description
Raw brass will vary in color, and is not as shiny as most plated finishes.
For an antiqued look, try an oxidizing solution such as Win-Ox™. Or, to make your raw brass items shinier, tumble-polish them with steel shot, water and a burnishing compound (to prevent rust on the shot) in a basic rock tumbler. Rinse well and dry with some agitation (a heat lamp, warm boxwood sawdust or other method will speed drying.)

Hello Vivian, Sorry you are having problems with this product. We will gladly return them for you. These have held up very well through our tests in house but it is possible that lotion or body oil will tarnish these disks faster. Thanks, Nate
