I love this wax working tip shared by @creativesidejewelry - “Use a q-tip to polishing up the inside of your bezel (shown here in wax)⁠
.⁠
Yes it looks crazy, but you're going to break a q-tip in half and lock it in your flex shaft (Thanks Kate Wolf for sharing this tip)⁠
.⁠
Dip in a small amount of goo gone or wax brite and use a paper towel to dab off the excess (you want a very light coat as too much can eat away at the wax)⁠
.⁠
Clean up the inside of your bezel using the q-tip and then come back with a clean q-tip and wipe up the excess!⁠
.⁠
You can also use this technique on metal with polishing compounds! (stay tuned next week for another tip for getting into even smaller places!)⁠” Thank you so much for letting me share!! #jewelrymakingworkshops #jewelrymaking #takingclasses #waxworking
