<BR>There are several formulations of Tarn-X. The silver cleaner formulation is
<BR>meant for use with the more noble metals such as silver/gold/platinum, etc.
<BR>Most brass has some percentage of zinc and the zinc will not react well to
<BR>Tarn-X if left in contact for too long. Some pitting and discoloration may
<BR>happen if left on too long.....
<BR>If you do decide to use it be sure to rinse the brass very well with water
<BR>and dry thoroughly. This will stop all chemical reaction between Tarn-X and
<BR>any less noble metals......
