- In this video I transform an old used and abused putter into something you'd be proud to put in the bag. Copper insert, textured sole, bead blast finish, paint fill, logo removal, and a new grip.

At first I didn't agree with removing the logo etc from the bottom, but the final result was well worth it. Very good work!
Thanks Tim!

I have an exact project like this for a TM Spider. Question about the paint remover and muratic acid... I noticed you didn't use the paint remover all over the body. Does the muratic acid do the same job? 🤔 (learning)
Muriatic acid removes PVD finish. The paint stripper was for the paint fill. Check out my golf channel to learn more stuff if you'd like youtube.com/@deusgolfco?si=Q78R5VNKmNYsdLSL
Can you do that to my putter
This copper insert came out AWESOME
I can't imagine what the original one looked like before your work, by the way, have you done any special treatment in order to prevent the copper plate from changing its color?
No coating on the copper. It will get a patina eventually, but can be brushed off easily with skotch brite
I’m working on a Scotty Cameron TE I3 right now. I think the body is made of carbon steel, and has a black oxide finish. I want to remove the finish it has now so I can torch finish it, but I’m not sure how to remove the finish. Would a muriatic acid bath work for this?
I don't think the muriatic acid will work for that. It's an oxide layer, so you would remove it like you would rust. Bead blast is how I remove it.

@@kramerdesignco thank you
@@kramerdesignco if I don’t have access to the equipment needed to bead blast this putter, is there any other way I can do it?
@@jackmiller6636 wire wheel or scotchbrite on a Dremel.
@@kramerdesignco thank you
FYI….Scotty Cameron inserts use a white silicon to seal the insert edge.
Yes, I was satisfied with using the acrylic paint. The result was satisfactory
Anyone know how wide insterts are typically? Cant find any info
Hard to answer this. They vary.
Great video, definitely subscribing. Was your muriatic acid diluted at all? I was wondering if it will attack the substrate ,steel or stainless steel?
I did not dilute the acid. I basically just observed the putter head until it looked like the PVD finish would come off easily. I've never had an issue with damaging the steel. I always neutralize by dipping the head into water/baking soda after the acid.
Thank you for the comment!
Which grit did you use to get that finish with the glass bead ??!!
180 grit. Sub my golf channel if you like this stuff - www.youtube.com/@deusgolfco
Seiko turtle?
That's the seiko SKX
I’ve never watched something like this on TH-cam and said “I definitely couldn’t do that” amazing work man you are extremely skilled
I appreciate that comment !
Is that just a regular hammer you use for the hammered steel?
Yes, it's an 8oz ball peen hammer.
How long did you leave it in the acid bath?!
In this case, 2 hours
What wheel did you use to get the dings out?
I believe they're called a deburring wheel. I don't use them anymore, although. I use skotchbrite on my belt sander. The deburring wheel works just fine, though. Amazon has em for relatively cheap.
Beautiful work -- Great Going - I wish I had your shop.
Thanks Mike!
Garbage to GEM!!! Unreal 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
What kind of welder do you use?
I use a hobart handler 190.
what grit bead blast was that?
220
This must reduce the overall weight of the putter head by a significant amount of weight. Does the weight of the copper compensate for the loss of weight due to grinding?
Slightly loses some weight and yes, the copper definitely compensates for that loss.
got a question for any1 that can help, i have a vega alcor black wedge and i want to make it raw , how is the best way to do this ?
Unsure of the plating on this specific wedge. If it is PVD, you can dissolve this off with muriatic acid. If it has been plated you will have to strip it. More info here: caswellplating.com/caswell-stripping-kit-5-gal.html
@@kramerdesignco would white vinegar work ?
@@kramerdesignco would it hurt if i just put them in some muriatic acid ??
@@yeboha It wouldn't hurt
good job bro!!

🤩
good job bro. Is that gonna be your daily user?
Thank you! Ya I'll give it a go for sure. Mid winter here, so I'll be waiting a long time to try it unfortunately.
How long did you have it sit in the acid?
@@sWaGsUrFeR29 2 hours
@@kramerdesignco dang man mine has been sitting for over an hour and paint won’t even scrape off with a wire brush
@@sWaGsUrFeR29 it may need 24 hrs. Be sure to neutralize it after.
Love this, and next time for an even softer feel you could try caulk like Scotty’s teryllium putter rather than epoxy and white paint. Could’ve just finished it in one step vs two, too!
Thanks! Yes, you're right. I think on the next go, I'll try that. Any suggestions for type of caulk?
Is it the same process on the black mist Scotty Cameron’s? (2104)
As far as removing the finish? I believe they are PVD as well?
Yes. If it is PVD, muriatic acid will remove it.
Hopefully the new air compressor helped out
Sure did!
Absolutely amazing. You are very talented
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice 💯
You’re AMAZING!
Thank you!
Thats masterpiece
Thank you!
Why hammer the bottom with half only?
Why not?
don't understand the purpose of it, style? @@kramerdesignco
U had me until the grip work 😭😭
Get a grip. 😆
