Running it over the metal with a little washing-up liquid removes the last of the oxidation and flux residue and gives silver a soft, satin sheen. It's a step most jewellers do automatically after every soldering session, and having a dedicated brush at the bench makes it quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis brush has a wooden handle and brass bristles, and it does the job well. It's the most affordable option in our brass brush range, sitting below the Japanese-made and German-made versions. If you're equipping a bench for the first time or want a spare brush to keep near the pickle, this is a sensible choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA couple of things worth knowing about using a brass brush: always use it wet with a drop of washing-up liquid, and keep it for use on silver only. Using it on copper or mixed metals can transfer trace amounts of copper onto your silver, which will cause problems if you solder again before pickling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWorth knowing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUse wet with washing-up liquid for best results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKeep for silver use only to avoid copper contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWooden handle for a comfortable grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pod Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51509153693991,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/8299\/files\/Brass-Brush_Pod-Jewellery_fcc3a750-85de-4034-bc35-718ee5f7efa5.jpg?v=1781575988","url":"https:\/\/podjewellery.com.au\/products\/brass-brush-with-wooden-handle","provider":"Pod Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
