How-To: Prepare Your Ring for Polishing

September 10, 2024
In this video, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to prepare your mounting for polishing. We’ll show you step-by-step how to sand the entire mounting and some handy hacks if you don’t have the right tools. So whether you’re a professional jeweler or just beginning your jeweler journey, this tutorial is accessible to everyone.
Tips:
- Start your micrometer at a speed of 10 to avoid bending the shank.
- If you don’t have BananaSandpaper, you can use a split mandrel and a strip from an abrasive sheet for sanding inside of the ring.
- Create your own sandpaper stick with an abrasive sheet and a wooden stick.
