Hi Doug,DougR said:If you are seriously considering plating an entire saxophone - that's a job for an expert.
Bruce, I've used this wich is a simular liquid. I think it works nice for retouching small spots that have some wear. But you will probably need several layers and it wears of again when it's on spots that are touched regularly so you need to repeat it every now and then.bruce bailey said:Any opinions on what would work for a small area? I have a really nice Chu alto with light plating loss on the side bb and C along with the octave key lever and G# lever. I can get Anderson to replate for a small amount but I hate having to reomve the pad(s) and refit after plating. If this solution works I may try it on the spots.
Bruce, I've decided against this as the horn is shipping on Tuesday to have the bell/bow plated professionally. I have done the crook though. It works perfectly although I imagine it will need a few more coats over the next week or so to build up the layers. On these results you shouldn't really have a problem.bruce bailey said:Any opinions on what would work for a small area?

Bruce, It's called "Sheffco Silver Solution". I purchased on Ebay but it can be obtained from Caswell's also:bruce bailey said:Looks great. Which solution is that one?
