No, there are very few things that will react with pure silver. Nitric
acid and sulfur are the only ones that come to mind. They will have two
kinds, a water based and a hydrocarbon based. Whichever you use, make
sure you rinse it well.

Go to the auto parts store and get a bottle of degreaser. That will
take the oils off very well. Keep off hands or it will really dry
them out.

Try putting the strips in the oven. Silver won't melt at oven temps

he put on--there was no need to add anything if he was thinning out
a piece of silver, unless he has some sort of hydraulic press or
roller that deposited lubricant to the silver. Odd, though. I've
never seen anyone do that before.

I did try my local jeweller / smelter but he contaminated it with i
assume is lubricating fluid, (i provided some Canadian maples for
this purpose), no amount of keeping it in vinegar Or Cola for its
phosphoric acid could rid it of the crap that would effuse out in
the brew!...even though they came out super shiny!.
