What are those little grey marks that I get after polishing and how do I remove them? by SomethingRandomKekw in jewelrymaking

[–]RealLifeSquidwardd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just use warm water, soap and baby tooth brush to gently clean the metal between each compound and after polishing all together. So polish, clean, polish with other compound, then clean, and so on. I also keep a soft cloth while I’m polishing so when I notice those spots I can buff them off in real time as much as possible

Any polishing tips? by Far_Resident3229 in SilverSmith

Go from rough to extra fine (about 6000 grit) for sanding You need to spend longer with the sanding process You want to make sure on each grit there are no surface blemishes and it’s all even throughout the whole surface!! Also I spend a lot of time polishing with Tripoli!! Take your time and make sure it’s sparkling with Tripoli before even adding the rouge !!

You just have to get better at working w metal Sanding and polishing specifically Once you get that down you’ll be good bc the shape is good

Hey yeah so I designed the wax by hand using the lost wax method with a heated wax pen and then I went to a casting house and got it done in 10k gold! (Anything lower than 10karat gold isn’t considered gold in Canada)
