What is an overlay?

Karen Thibodeaux
The overlay is the race logo that usually is put on the race T-shirt. We always include the overlay on the bottom of the photo, normally where it doesn’t interfere with the picture. If we believe the overlay will not look great on your photo, we will not include it. If the race does not provide us with a logo, we will type the name of the race and the date on your photo. We will be happy to include your race time as long as you provide that information to us.

How can I clean my sterling silver 75s with minimal damage?

FAQ page 1
I have found that using an inexpensive jeweler's silver polishing cloth does the job quite effectively without the need to resort to using more abrasive methods. The cloth is impregnated with jewelers rouge which will remove the silver oxidation that tarnishes the sterling silver 75s. For more stubborn tarnished areas, simply wet the cloth slightly when using it. Just remember to use the cloth lightly as it is safer though it may take a bit longer to remove the oxidation.
