Here is a genius way to color code mandrels from @sandrasommerdesign - “Nail polish is a great way to color code on metal. I use my flex shaft to polish work. Here I am about to use the Luxor compounds for the first time. A little dash of nail polish on the steel mandrel that corresponds to the color of the compound helps keeping things from getting mixed up. Fortunately, I had the right colors already in my drawer.” This is amazing! Such a good idea to code them because you don’t want to mix them up and there is no way to differentiate once they become darkened with compound and metal. 💕 also 💅🏻 Has anyone else been using the Luxor?!? Lets us know what you think! I’ve been loving it! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #jewelrypolishingtools
