cableguy Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 my Sub's bracelet's edges are kinda sharp, id like to file them down but before i go an ruin a perfectly good rep i'd like to find out what the best way of doing so it. I also plan on modding the crown gaurds following the tutorial that is sticked above..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo2001 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I don't know if it the BEST way, but I took edges off a bracelet yesterday using a medium-fine file. I tried using emory cloth on this one especially "edgy" bracelet and it didn't do the trick. A file used carefully got me closer to where I want to be. Next step will be dremel buffing wheel. Anybody have a tested scientific approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Scotch Brite-Pad is the best, safest and easiest way. It's also perfect to brush off scratches from bracelets and clasps (brushed steel bracelets, that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 does scotchbrite take off the edges? i always thought it wouldnt be abrasive enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 does scotchbrite take off the edges? i always thought it wouldnt be abrasive enough Yes it will. It doesn't make any visible difference (which is important), but it'll make the edges softer and smoother. You need some patience though.

cableguy Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 right on....thats what ill try then =) thanks..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Another option: Pen Erasers (the greyish one). Erasable Pens that have that Greyish slightly gritty eraser work wonders as well... Smoothes up the edges of rough bracelets quickly and easily... Scotchbrite is a great idea too... Either way you go... test on a small area first to make certain your particular bracelet will look good after treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 i used some 220grit sandpaper on a wooden block, then hit it with scotch brite after, its great now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yes it will. It doesn't make any visible difference (which is important), but it'll make the edges softer and smoother. You need some patience though. Can the scotchbright pad be used to remove the normal hairline scratches that develop as well? Just asking because I was going to give this a try, but you mentioned it doesnt make any "visable" difference. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 it seems to clean up some scuffs i had on my clasp as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagerolex Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 What you need is a 120 Garryflex pad, this is like the pan eraser alrady suggested. The power of the garryflex is shown here - http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/article/maso...let_refurb.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
