how to change brass to antique finish help

Beverly

I've bought zippers from

I found this, perhaps you'll find something useful:

Thanks, Beverly. I think I will probably go with a molded plastic zipper from zipperstop as it seems a lot more reasonably priced and they just happen to have a few other things I might order. Their shipping charges seem fairly reasonable too.

The other place is way out of my range even though they can custom make any zipper I need.

Thanks, Emily. It's good to know you've had good luck with them but I think they're out of my comfort range in pricing.

Judie

You're welcome. I have ordered zippers from both of them and been very well satisfied, both with the products and the service I received.

Beverly,

I wanted to give you an update on the zipper tarnishing and let you know that I ended up soaking the zipper in vinegar for about a day. It changed the shiny finish just enough to blend with the pocket zippers and now that it's in the jacket looks fine. I also waxed the zipper to make sure it works easily after the soaking.

DGD (2 1/2) is very happy with her "new" jacket that grandma fixed for her. My reputation is saved once more thanks to the help I get here.

I'm so glad you found something that worked! And now the solution is archived for future generations. ;-)
