Ready to Nail That Perfect Polish… Without the Guesswork (or the Micro-Scratches)?

Does the thought of polishing jewelry to a bright, shiny finish send shivers down your spine? Fed up of microscratches you can’t seem to shift? Struggling to tell your Tripoli from your Platinum White? You’re not alone. And we’ve got you.

In this 35-minute video lesson we’ll cover everything you need to know - from which files to start out with to how to handle porosity (without resorting to flooding it with solder), how far to take your sanding to which compounds and buffs to use (and in what order), and exactly when to cut your losses and just toss the damn thing in the tumbler.

Here’s a Snapshot of What You’ll Find Inside:
