Designer Tips

  • Remove age patina and minor blemishes from the bangle bracelet, with ultrafine sanding sponge.
  • Shake Ranger ""patina"" well and apply to imprinted portions of the bracelet. Lightly remove excess with baby wipe. Allow to dry.
  • Remove dried-on ""patina"" that is outside of the imprinted area with sanding sponges (I also used my fingernails).
  • Sand with ultrafine and microfine sponges until excess ""patina"" is removed.
  • Polish to a high shine with Ultra polishing pad.
  • Optional: Seal finish with Renaissance Wax (carefully, to prevent lifting the garnet color).
