Silver polish?


Does anyone know if a dried out jar of silver polish can be "revived"? Obviously I don't use it very much , but hate to waste a half jar of silver cream! Any tips out there would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Silver polish?


Did you just wet the sponge and let it sit in the jar overnight to soften it? It's hard as cement .....

Didn't leave the sponge in the jar overnight (can't really remember) but probably just dampened the sponge and rubbed it over the polish.
