To remove tarnish: [ Silver Sulfate ]
Wrap the item up in Aluminum foil with some salt water or Vinegar for a few
minutes. [conductive electrolyte]
Or just rub it gently with foil and salt water.
This will make Silver ions leave the surface and head for the Aluminum by
way of battery effect, freeing up the Sulphur.
It's also how Curad Silver Bandaids work to release Silver ions into a wound.
Re-plating it is an option if the Silver has worn off, but they will remove
the tarnish first.
You can do that using your CS generator, but to get a nice finish, the
proper electrolyte should be used. [That, is a science in itself ]
