I did do this with my scotty and finished it about a week ago. Big props to this channel. It was his guidance and suggestions that made it possible. I must have asked a million questions and he was very patient and answered all of them. I also used the majority of his tool/supplies suggestions and it turned out pretty good for a first timer. I will say this, prepping the head is key. You make a mistake or don't prep it right you'll see it in the finished product.
@@igolf906 torched looks really good. This is the way I do mine when I refinish them. I do the sole and the face. Just a once over not much but just enough.
Could I do this with an Oddysey dual force rossie 2? And what’s the prep work before torching? Thanks for answering all these questions. Means a lot!!!!
Torching would ruin the insert on this model. And this model insert doesn't just pop out. It's a poured insert imbedded into the body. You would have to melt the current insert out of it, clean up the putter, dents dings etc, give it a high grit bead blast finish, torch it, then pour an epoxy type insert back in. A ton of work.
There is no nickel plating on these stainless putters. But the old Pro Platinums do, and with high pressure and coarse media you can get it off, but it takes awhile.
@Andrew Kosloski honestly I've never tried taking the plating off, so I can't really help you there. I've heard of someone taking it off with a sand blaster but can only imagine it would talk half a day to do it. That's any refurbishers only do cerakote type finishes on them. I'd look for any place that does plating and have them strip it for you.
@@igolf906 I was under the impression when you grind the nicks and dings out of the putter you are ruining the plating and the cerakote won’t take? Sorry for all the questions, this has been so informative and it is very much appreciated!!
It's isopropyl alcohol. I put a thin film of that in all of the cherry bombs because the paint flows in it better, and prevents bubbles and keeps it glossy!
Thanks. I usually soak it for a 1/2 hour to an hour. Then from there make sure you wear gloves and bake the moisture out right away. I give it a quick blast after baking to get any surface haziness or water spots off then torch it.
Depends on the putter, and the work that needs to be done prior. But something like this would be between $325 & $400. But I don't usually sell putters. I restore and finish them for people.
When torching, does the putter just naturally turn that color? In other videos I see more of a glossy purple/blue. Thanks! Love the videos, think I found my new hobby haha
@griffindepauw3998 depends on the finish prior to torching. Also how hot of a torch you have. An acetylene torch will get the blue hues quicker. But carbon steels bring out the purple and blue hues much better than stainless.
I absolutely love mine! I added some black weights and that took that beautiful finish to another level.
Very cool!
You are going to be a popular custom putter guy. It looks awesome.
Thanks!
another beaut! never cease to amaze me how good they turn out
It’s spectacular, Corey. Well done brother!
Thanks a lot!
I gotta try this with my scotty
Give it a try!

Looks awesome!
Thank you!
After the blasting go back over just the sole again. Nice satin finish ontop with a polished sole. It looks good.
Give it a go see what you think.
I've done a few like that. Just not torched. Including my own personal Newport. It does look good!

Wow!😮
This guy is going places. Make me one please!
Thanks! But no, I plan to keep this a hobby. 😉

Looks awesome! I've tried my hand at torching a couple scotty camerons. I can never get that even / smooth looking finish.
It's all in the prep work.
@@igolf906 yup, I dont have a sandblaster so my prep work was as in depth as yours. someday!
Could we get an in depth video on sand blasting? 🙏🏻
There's not really much to it. But here is a video on how I get my finish. th-cam.com/video/LOm8Mlqnk18/w-d-xo.html
What do you drop prior to paint fill in those face holes?
Nevermind. Found it in the thread. Great job. Your work is phenomenal
Love watching these , to get the bronze colour is it just time and temperature? Or is there an additive you dip it in ?
Just prepping in acetone, baking and torching.
@@igolf906 thanks for the reply really appreciate it , keep the vids coming I love em
Is it aluminum oxide 120 for cerakote prep? Link takes it to glass beads.. thanks!
Nice catch! They must have changed the listing.
Does bead blasting/sand blasting remove the nickel finish on the putters?
There is no nickel plating on these stainless putters. But the old Pro Platinums do, and with high pressure and coarse media you can get it off, but it takes awhile.

@Andrew Kosloski no that plating UNLESS it's peeling, will not come off. So as long as your prep for cerakote is done properly, it adheres just fine.
What do you use when you use a cotton bud before the paint is added? Some kind of clear liquid?
It's isopropyl alcohol. I put a thin film of that in all of the cherry bombs because the paint flows in it better, and prevents bubbles and keeps it glossy!
@@igolf906 what temperature do you bake it at in the oven? Is just a drying process?
@@Simpsons_dailyy 250 for an hour. It pulls all the moisture out of the steel and any leftover surface oils
Can I ask what grit grinding wheel you use and where can you buy them? I cannot seem to find them anywhere.
They're fine convolute wheels. Check my description for where to find all my tools and supplies.
Do you oil quench it
No. Only if it were carbon steel. This model is stainless steel.
How long do you bathe your putter in acetone/alcohol for in your Tupperware bowl? I’m working on doing this myself, and don’t want to mess up!🤣
Great work by the way, as usual!
Thanks. I usually soak it for a 1/2 hour to an hour. Then from there make sure you wear gloves and bake the moisture out right away. I give it a quick blast after baking to get any surface haziness or water spots off then torch it.
@@igolf906 thank you so much! I have it soaking right now! I appreciate the quick response and helpful advice! Keep up the great work my friend!
how much do you sell them for?!
Depends on the putter, and the work that needs to be done prior. But something like this would be between $325 & $400. But I don't usually sell putters. I restore and finish them for people.
You should have subtitles, I’m lost at what your doing with some steps hahaaa

@@igolf906 And how do you get out dings and dents on the milled face?
@@griffindepauw3998 has to be remilled.
