TC@TOWS Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hi all, does anybody know of anywhere that will polish engraving out of a pewter christening tankard? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 A local working jeweller should be able to sort it for you. The jeweller next door to us rectifies any mistakes for us. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian platt Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hi mask up the surrounding area rub off the engraving with wet and dry start with rough then smooth depending how deep engraving is only rub in one direction then polish with metal polish or duraglit remove masking tape then lightly polish the whole tankard no problem works a treat hope this helps kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I took an old bench grinder and removed the grinding wheels, bought some polishing mops with spindle mounts and some bars of different grade polishing compounds from Cousins. Works a treat on pewter, even done some gold and silver jewellery. Local jeweller charges £25 to remove engraving and they send it away, I charge £20 and can do it more or less straight away! kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Still here guys, take a look at micro mesh its great for doing brass and pewter, I have used it loads of times. I have a few packs left if anyone wants to try. Can bundle together for £10. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003RTABUK/ref=asc_df_B003RTABUK50917678/?tag=googshopuk-21&creative=22146&creativeASIN=B003RTABUK&linkCode=df0&hvadid=205341469171&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10018050354118346568&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046847&hvtargid=pla-421904605873 grahamparker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
