chronology1066 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just a tip for all out there. I was looking at options for refinishing various watch bits and removing sharp edges and burrs from bands etc. After much digging around I decided to raid the wifes manicure kit and found the greatest addition to my tool kit. Bought from the Body Shop a manicure block, some have four some have three sides from fairly coarse through to polishing grade granularity. Tried it out on my new HBB Tuiga to take a couple of edges and then polished it through the grades the results are to say the least impressive. Give it a go and see what I mean for everything from brushed finish on steel or titanium I am going to try a couple more cases tonight and see how I get on. Might try the GST band with masking to brush and then mirror finish the mid links. Also sinc eit is a block it is far easier to keep a line on brushed finishes.Someone may have already mentioned this but just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Good tips. When you're finished, try using car wax to polish the whole bracelet. The surface feels silky and smooth after that. I always do that to all my rep bracelets, and it really makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've got the same block but have yet to try it out. The white side is is the least coarse, used for superfine brushing. I've also bought 2 abrasive flexible rubber blocks, like the Garry flex blocks. I love the re-finishing part of our hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
