The folding safety clasp on my Glycine bracelet has a significant scratch. It is going to take some work with a Dremel tool to buff it out. Can anyone share their insight on the best way to do this? My bracelet has a brushed finish and my concern is that I'm going to polish the clasp to a mirror finish before I buff out this scratch. Is there a polishing compound that is coarse enough to prevent this? Or would it be better to just worry about the scratch first and then go back and brush the finish again? Thanks

If its not a gouge the demel might be overkill. I would try a green Scotchbright pad then a finer sanding sponge. Should be enough to do the job.

Even if you do "polish" the finish while removing the scratch, use Tony's approach to reestablish the brush finish.

For a brushed finish this product is BY FAR the best that I've tried. http://www.theruststore.com/Sandflex-Rust-Eraser-Fine-P10C7.aspx ...and it will last for a long LONG time! Last edited on Fri Jul 18th, 2008 11:02 am by captobvious |
