Re: [ATM] Silvering Problems

Alfredo, all-

Somewhere, I believe, I read (I think) possibly in the old Albert Ingalls 
ATM books, I remember that one is supposed to do a "burnishing" operation 
after silvering, something about compressing the coating, with a chamois, to 
increase the shiny-ness. Did I dream this?
