morekats Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Okay, I'll admit I'm still a newbie but I tried the rolled up duct tape method to remove a case back last night and was amazed at how well it worked. Tried a couple other improvised methods and got no where then went for the duct tape and the back twisted right off. Didn't harm the sticker either. Also, I found this pack of short emery boards today. Figure I'll use the fine side of the boards to smooth my oyster bracelet's edges down a little. Read where Gioarmani says you can use emery boards to do this somewhere. Anyway, while on the subject of the emery boards, I was wondering if anyone has tried to use these to attempt to shape crown guards before. So, if you have, how did it work out? Thanks.

FxrAndy Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I think it will take a long time, i use a dremil with flexidrive and cutting disks to rough it out then a silicon polisher to flatten it and then a polishing wheel to finish off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Judging by how long it takes me to smooth out the sharp edges from my Rolex cases, I'd say that reshaping CGs would take a lot of time and a pile of emery boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yes .. that would be like moving a large pile of sand with tweezers. The right tool for the right job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
