As I create these twisted pieces, I notice that the round nose pliers can sometimes leave a little "bite" mark on the sterling. My nylon pliers are wonderful, but they are flat...
I've heard of people using Tool Magic, which I found at Joann's or FireMountainGems.com. The instructions tell you to dip your tool into the compound, wait for a few hours, and BAM! You're golden!
My order is coming in a few days... I'm very excited to try this new technique! I'll keep you posted ;)

My "aunt" read this article and informed me that Tool Magic users recommend actually PAINTING on the compound instead of dipping the tool. Will have to try!
