Here is a tip for polishing some of those hard to reach spots: Dedeco Midgets! I received a few of these in last month’s @benchtooljunkies box and liked them so much I went ahead and bought enough to make a set! These polishing bits come in a wide variety of shapes, this one is the “bullet” shape ☝️I use them to clean the inside of a soldered bezel, the inside of rings, curved edges and bails. I use my diamond sharpening cards to reshape them as needed. I’ve found they hold their shape great, don’t kick up much dust (you should still use a mask 😷😄) and they polish great! As I do with anything that comes in different grits I made myself a little chart that says which grit is which and pinned it above my bench! @benchtooljunkies still have some available in the red and yellow grits so feel free to DM them! I will also share a kit I got off Amazon (warning it is pricey HOWEVER it has radial discs, midgets and points!) You can also find Dedeco at other retailers, they are great products so most people carry them!💥🔥 Thanks again to @benchtooljunkies be sure to check them out, they frequently do flash sales and specials on awesome tools in addition to their subscription boxes 😏 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytools #polishingjewelry
