<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 288131, member: 2844&quot;]Thank you KC, and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to more of your contributions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where we live humidity isn&#039;t that much of an issue, and we live in a temperate climate zone. We have hygrometers around the house because of health issues.</p><p>Funny, we also use those little silica packets, mostly to prevent rust on my husband&#039;s stored loudspeaker units.</p><p>I think the biggest tarnish problem around here is air pollution, we live near the centre of town.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found the information about Paraloid (Acryloid) B72 on several museum sites. Most had experimented with various lacquers/resins, and found this to be the best. And it can be removed if necessary, in case I want to sell. It is cheap and you can buy a small bottle, so I could experiment on cheap silver jewellery and see what happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Renaissance wax I mentioned is micro-crystalline wax, I read it gathers dust. But I agree, in a protected environment it would certainly work. And for non-food use items, as you said. That would apply to keris parts, although it seems not everyone agrees<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRraFtq940YFT_fNSlstYfIZYBv8tIXX4RZEQEDlrjzbgz__HAA&amp;sp=5445e08b244c400251494f972340bfff&amp;anticache=814653" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>(Don&#039;t try this at home)</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone, thank you so much for your input, so much to research and think about now. There are various options, and I will probably use more than one, depending on the way in which I display a particular group of kerises.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
