Was probably 180-240 grit. My most commonly used.

It was a plunge cutting end mill. And was in my mill, not a standard drill press. Keeps the hole true and perfectly straight. It was a 3/8 bit as that was the size of the stainless tubing.

I believe it's bare carbon steel. Not 100% but I believe it is.

I'm not even sure what the finish was because it was flaking. Couldn't have been a black oxide. Wasn't chrome as it was black. 🤷‍♂️

This putter was finished in a satin bead blast. Not bronzed.

It is!

Definitely didn't hurt it's $25-$30 value. 🤷‍♂️

@@igolf906 Whatever the value, this is tasteless.

​@@florianpilonTo who, you? According to everyone else in the comment section, they think otherwise.

Acetone

For the paintfill, check my video description for all of my tools and equipment. Everything is listed there!

Its sanded on a granite slab. The granite slab is as close to perfectly flat as you can get other than a mill.

It can get a slight shade of blue and purple yes. Not as prevalent as carbon steel though.

Shoot me an email.

This one was requested that way, but yes you're right!

Thank you!

Check out my updated video on restoring! I go into much more detail. th-cam.com/video/1_e-j95K6yg/w-d-xo.html

For finish blasting, it's glass bead. And I spray between 60 & 80 psi depending on the application. And I've done a few brass heads before with a satin bead blast yes. As far as cfm, anything will work. Just depends on how patient you are between the compressor running. Mine is an 80 gallon at 16cfm at 90psi so I can get a good amount blasted before it kicks on.

@ Awesome!! I will be looking forward to watch your future videos. Once again, thank you so much for your informations!

Thank you!

It was bead blasted prior to DLC. And so far from what I see, this is one of the most durable finishes I've ever seen. I'm very careful with my putters, but I'm really curious to see what it will look like in a year or so.

Are you talking the prep before cerakoting? Then no, there is no alternative. Cerakote has pretty extensive prepping steps, and sandblasting is a must.

@ great, thanks.

Just a standard white tub and tile caulk. Don't let Scotty fool you, that's what he used too 😆

@igolf906 thanks. I've done a couple of putters. Your videos helped a lot, thanks. Any tips on removing the inserts on ping or odyssey putters?

A friend of a friend..not really doing orders but hopefully in the future. And yes, that price is about standard anywhere that offers it. From the brief bit I've seen, the machines used to apply these finishes can run between. $50k and a $1mil so. It's understandable

@igolf906 thanks for the help! Keep me posted if he starts doing orders

Just standard tub & tile caulk.

No thinner. When the paint gets cold it will thicken up so, if you're in a colder environment, I recommend hitting the paint jars with a heat gun for a minute. It really helps it thin out.

Depending on the silicone I use. I like to fill the dots with a drop of paintfill. Makes them pop a little more and looks really clean.

It's called Diamond Like Coating. It's super durable and to me looks like a perfect gloss black oxide finish. But won't oxidized like black oxide unless you really wear it down or damage the coating somehow. It's legit beautiful 😍

@@igolf906 it looks beautiful. I'm sure the camera doesn't do it justice.

Never say never. But as of now, this one is my new personal gamer. I have about 8 rounds on it and absolutely love it! I may do a few more in the future.

@@igolf906 sounds like I need to find one to send to you to make just like this then lol

@stewboyslabs1578 I can't offer this finish yet so. Will have to be a different finish.

Nope it's mineral spirits. If you get a nice thin film of it, it makes the paint flow much better

@@igolf906 You are the man. Last question, when you are sand blasting is there one grade that you use mostly or do you go between the two grades often?

Your opinion 🤷‍♂️

Simply torch it until you get the color you want. I use a Mapp gas torch and it takes awhile to turn. Longer you torch, the darker it gets, then will start turning slightly blue.

You can just sand it smooth. No coating necessary. Make sure however you're doing it that it's perfectly flat. For hand sand smooth faces, I use a block of granite and sand paper.

Spray paint won't last. For a black finish on stainless steel, Cerakote is your best option.

@@igolf906 Thanks I bought a brand new putter, and it was on sale, but only the black was available. so, I bought it but I know those get scratched. It says it is a milled soft putter.

@@igolf906 Thanks, I bought a new milled putter, and it was on sale. Only black remained. I know those get scratched easily.

Unfortunately, I'm not really set up to do irons efficiently for people. But if you can, send some pics I'd love to assess them and take a look.

240 grit glass. Links in the description.

No. But you would need to remove any weights, sole plates, and paintfill. You need to be 100% certain also that the putter is clean from all oils and debris. Otherwise, the finish will not be uniform.

For paintfill, I use Tamiya mainly. Testors I also use for odd colors. I order custom applicators from Gaunt Industries. All different bottle and tip sizes.

250 for 2 hours.

Are talking about toe hang? If so, I don't remember what it came out to. Standard plumbers neck probably similar to Newport

@@igolf906 yes was talking about the toe hang. I play a Edel putter with 35 degree upright toe hang, this to correct the twisting off the blade during swinging the putter, this way the blade comes more straith true the ball at impact, just like Honu putters. Wonder if this is possible when making a butter by myself.

Responded to your email!

By hand with sand paper if it's bad. MOST cavities are decently clean so, usually don't need much work. I don't recommend usually a dremel.

No, if you're restoring anything with plating, it needs to be professionally stripped. Otherwise, it will be a mess, and the finish will be splotchy at best. And it would definitely need to be replated.

@@igolf906 :/ thanks for the quick reply and bad news lol. I was afraid of that though. what about Cerakoting irons? hmmm sounds cool, but would it hold up? Cerakote is a durable ceramic paint basically right? great job on the putter!

An hour is usually fine.
