Carefully follow the instructions below on how to use Tarnish-Me-Not. Be sure to properly prepare your jewelry before spraying. Gently clean your pieces and lay flat for best results. Do not shake. The unique composition of this formula performs best when contents in the can are still, as opposed to shaken up. Hold can upright 5-6" from jewelry. Spray in a continuous and even motion until item is coated thoroughly. Allow up to 15 minutes for dry-to-touch and an additional 15 minutes to handle. Turn item over to spray any remaining surface areas. Repeat as needed until coated thoroughly - two coats maximum, which is highly suggested for long lasting protection. For best results, spray item in a room temperature, and non-humid environment. Finally, enjoy! Once you have completely sealed your jewelry and allowed optimal dry time, you may begin wearing it right away.
