The structure remained rough even after that and there were also small pitches visible. For this particular design OK, but don&#8217;t have an illusion that you can mirror-polish it. The reason for the pitches is the inherent porosity of silverclay-based fine silver. The air bubbles are difficult to get rid of during recycling.
