I need to start wearing the correct glasses and wear a respirator and other protection I have ben doing this for years now and just never see a need to use the stuff but I know I need to.
You can getaway with just using the white if you end pre-polish with 400-600 grit sanding. Make sure you work your way up to 400-600. if you want to use red and white use red first then white.
@@DivisionGrillz I'm confused. This video shows using green first and then using red. Why is this? I thought red was course and green was super fine. I thought that you were supposed to use red, white, and then green.
Hi Gail! Yes, a quick steaming is recommended between polishing steps to avoid cross-contamination of buffs. If any coarser rouge remains on the buff when dropping down to a finer polish, you will run the risk of scratching the piece and essentially undoing the current polishing step.
excuse me, What paste do you use for 24K gold polish? I tried some mirror polishing paste with wiping cloth, the result is mirror, however it got darker, not very bright.
Hi, I like this video a LOT! Thank you! 💜 I have 2 white gold (2mm, 4mm) bands and one rose gold band (2mm). They are all simple flat bands, no stones or crazy scratches. I was wondering which color polishing compounds should I get to get a super shiny result? Is the ultrasonic cleaner for removing the polishing compounds at the end? Or can I skip buying the ultrasonic bath thingie and just use a jewelry cloth at the end following up the wool+compound+Dremel steps? Looking forward to your reply! Fantastic video quality and info in there!! 💜💜

Hi Ahiung! We don't carry the Manau polish to compare, however we do use the green rouge featured in the video in our in-house polishing processes. Hope this helps!
Hello, can I use that Ultra-CR Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution without L&R Quantrex® Ultrasonic or any other Ultrasonic? I mean can I clean my jewellery just with this liquid? Thank you
First I want to say Thank you to the lady who made this very clear and informative video even after 30 years I can always learn something new (WIDE fingertape ..never seen that before : ) Hi ELINA AGAMEL I have been making Precious metal jewellery for over 30 years ..I do have an ultra sonic but hardly ever use it ..the cheaper option is to use a baby's toothbrush ..preferably a used one (you can sterilise it before use ..I just dipped mine in boiling water for a bit ) as they are very soft ...I use with Fairy liquid ..ie a really good thick degreasing dish soap ...and rinse... using a separate brush for each type of polish and rinsing each time ...I get a great clean with gentle brushing and rinsing.....if there is some dirt really hard to get out or inaccessible I use the following method It WORKS REALLY WELL ON PRECIOUS METAL AND HARD STONES ..Eg.Diamonds, Sapphires , Rubies Agates..etc BUT NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SOFT /PORUS STONES ie Opal, Jade , Amber etc (I would NOT use for Emeralds either as They are Just looking for any excuse to crack !)...Take no notice where it says not to use on metal this refers to the Ferrous metals it is perfectly safe to use on Silver , Gold , Copper or Brass To remove old soap polish etc a denture sterilising tablet eg. sterident (also cheap to buy) pour hot water into a jar or bowl leaving at least an inch space before the lip of jar or bowl as the solution froths ..pop the dirty jewellery in and leave it till the bubbles stop ...then use the toothbrush to clean the now loosed Dirt..and rinse well. An ultrasonic saves you time and can be used often without leaving the bench ...so great if you do a lot of fast , high value batch production or do not have easy access to a sink ...(as. An Artizan designer Jeweller most of my work is one off pieces where I can take the time )when I do use my Ultrasonic the proprietary cleaners are very effective and well worth the cost but the cleaning is just the same Hope this Helps.

Hi! Green rouge is intended for use on stainless steel, white gold, silver, platinum and rhodium. It is a recommended intermittent step prior to red rouge, as smaller steps down in coarseness will take the metal down more evenly.
I need to start wearing the correct glasses and wear a respirator and other protection I have ben doing this for years now and just never see a need to use the stuff but I know I need to.
Thank you for your polishing tips!
Hello namaste
Can you show the process of polishing after the piece has been casted?
Thank you for the tips. What is the music/band/song you're using on the video? :)
Anyone has list of tools used handy (like with links to store)? TY🙏🏼
Thank you for the refresher. I like to learn as much as I can.
You prefer using a bristle brush (with polishing compounds) vs. a 3m type brush containing the grit? For one thing, it's probably less expensive.
awsome. I did it after watching this video. thanks alot
thx for the tip
I have red, green and white compound and I pour silver. Which compound would I use first?? Thank you.
You can getaway with just using the white if you end pre-polish with 400-600 grit sanding. Make sure you work your way up to 400-600. if you want to use red and white use red first then white.

Do I need to wash the ring in between the green and red compounds? Will it cross contaminate the red buff if I don’t wash after the green?
Hi Gail! Yes, a quick steaming is recommended between polishing steps to avoid cross-contamination of buffs. If any coarser rouge remains on the buff when dropping down to a finer polish, you will run the risk of scratching the piece and essentially undoing the current polishing step.
@@StullerInc That’s very helpful, thank you.
hi, what's the name of the gray polish compound you start with? thank you.
excuse me, What paste do you use for 24K gold polish? I tried some mirror polishing paste with wiping cloth, the result is mirror, however it got darker, not very bright.
is this cleaning solution can damage the CZ stone or lab diamond?
According to our Tools Tech Team, the cleaning solution will not harm CZ’s or lab-grown diamonds. Thanks! --Stuller Marketing

You can use hot water and dish soap to get a good clean after if you want to avoid buying the ultrasonic cleaner
Where could I buy those finger covers?

Walmart maybe even the dollar store..
It is only tape...in the medical supply dept.
What she used in this video is a type of tape.
It is self stick..elastic like....
Alot of sport activities use it. Can be found at Walmart,CVS.. maybe even the dollar store..most anywhere...
It is only tape...in the medical supply dept.
It's called self adhesive tape and is around 2.49 gbp for a 5 meter roll
Wonder why she doesn’t just wear medical gloves?
How effective is this compared to Manau polish? In effectiveness and cost.
Hi Ahiung! We don't carry the Manau polish to compare, however we do use the green rouge featured in the video in our in-house polishing processes. Hope this helps!

Hi ELINA AGAMEL
I have been making Precious metal jewellery for over 30 years ..I do have an ultra sonic but hardly ever use it ..the cheaper option is to use a baby's toothbrush ..preferably a used one (you can sterilise it before use ..I just dipped mine in boiling water for a bit ) as they are very soft ...I use with Fairy liquid ..ie a really good thick degreasing dish soap ...and rinse... using a separate brush for each type of polish and rinsing each time ...I get a great clean with gentle brushing and rinsing.....if there is some dirt really hard to get out or inaccessible I use the following method
It WORKS REALLY WELL ON PRECIOUS METAL AND HARD STONES ..Eg.Diamonds, Sapphires , Rubies Agates..etc BUT NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SOFT /PORUS STONES ie Opal, Jade , Amber etc (I would NOT use for Emeralds either as They are Just looking for any excuse to crack !)...Take no notice where it says not to use on metal this refers to the Ferrous metals it is perfectly safe to use on Silver , Gold , Copper or Brass
To remove old soap polish etc a denture sterilising tablet eg. sterident (also cheap to buy)
pour hot water into a jar or bowl leaving at least an inch space before the lip of jar or bowl as the solution froths ..pop the dirty jewellery in and leave it till the bubbles stop ...then use the toothbrush to clean the now loosed Dirt..and rinse well.
An ultrasonic saves you time and can be used often without leaving the bench ...so great if you do a lot of fast , high value batch production or do not have easy access to a sink ...(as.

Who actually bought all of these items to polish?
me
you forgot to steam it
I thought green rouge was for stainless steel? Could just go straight to red and save the time
Hi! Green rouge is intended for use on stainless steel, white gold, silver, platinum and rhodium. It is a recommended intermittent step prior to red rouge, as smaller steps down in coarseness will take the metal down more evenly.
I would need a lighted magnifying glass to complete this process.
Need rhodium and steam
