So I have the same putter. I removed the black finish and I’m wondering (I’m a noob) if what’s left is the bare carbon steel? Or is there some other plating left under the black finish? Thanks
Just discovered you. Great work. I have several T.P. Mills putters, along with a few Tad Moore. Plan to try what you did. Your's sure turned out beautiful!!!
You could polish with a dremel. Would take awhile. It won't be good for getting out dents and dings though. And no. Most shafts are chrome or Nickel plated. Bluing will not work on them.
Don't remember off hand what I used on this video, but currently I use diesel oil for everything. And yes, stored in a resealable paint can, it can be reused.
Because I was giving this putter to my daughter, I didn't focus too much on trying to fix it as its a very thin shaft. But I used the bend to change the lie angle a little bit. It was very upright so I glued the bend facing down so it had a little more flat of a lie.
I’m actually refinishing the exact same tp mills putter rn with the same exact super blue however the chemical isn’t working at all. I applied the super blue using a cotton swab and also by just pouring it onto the putter however the blue compound isn’t even working. I tried other metals and nothing is turning black. Any thoughts?
Do the same models of TP mills 3 putters have different types of metal? I’ve completely sanded and grinded off all of the previous finish on the putter and now it is just a steel putter
Thank you! Yes it is essentially made for firearm finishing. There's also a Hot blue method out there that's supposed to be more durable but, I've never tried it.
Has anyone tried jenolite clear coat to protect against rust? Is it worth putting lacquer on after or just accept that you need to oil and love it to stop rust? I am in the middle of a restoration and I want to make sure I don't fuck it up at the last hurdle.
I think I got mine at a local Hobby Lobby but, its just standard Testors enamel, used for models and what not. A lot of hardware and hobby stores will have it. Maybe even Walmart?, and some other big box stores.
It looked almost like a factory bend, so as I forgot to mention it in the video. Before I glued the head back on, I measured the lie angle of the shaft inserted both ways, and one way was WAY too upright, so I swapped the shaft around and its just about perfect.
These particular putters are made of carbon steel. And yes regular bluing will not work on stainless. As we speak, I am editing another putter restoration that IS stainless steel, and I've found an affordable black patina dye for stainless steel!
I would have to have it powder coated to get a nice glossy coat to it. Regular paints dont do well on putters. So the cold blue and patina style finishes are what works the best for me currently.
Do you do this for people? I have a Toulon Garage putter that I want refinished and absolutely would not mind if you used it in a video. What are your rates?
keep up the good work man. love it. 👊
How long do you let paint dry befor wiping away excess with acetone?
An hour is usually fine.
Dang that putter turned out Nice!
These videos are gold!
Thanks a lot. And I hope to make them even better! I'll be honest and say I'm not a very good videographer or editor, but I'm working on it! :)
Those convolute wheels did some work!
Again Amazing 👍

I believe it's bare carbon steel. Not 100% but I believe it is.
Skipped the painting part as the putter was way better with the polished chrome look.
Please advise re which convolute wheel you recommend? Thank you, great video!
If you check out any of my newer videos, the description lists all of the tools and materials I use.
Is the tp mills chrome plated or is it just the black finish?
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. 🤷♂️

Thanks! Any questions feel free!
can you use a dremel for buffing and polishing? also can you cold blue a shaft?
You could polish with a dremel. Would take awhile. It won't be good for getting out dents and dings though. And no. Most shafts are chrome or Nickel plated. Bluing will not work on them.
What type of paints or brand did you use?
For the paint fill, I just used the standard Testors enamel paints. $1.99 at any hobby type store.
Hello,Where did you get the new putter cover? Thank you
Don't remember honestly. I ordered it online from somewhere. Just a basic PGA headcover.
What kind of oil do you soak it in? And can you reuse that oil over again?
Don't remember off hand what I used on this video, but currently I use diesel oil for everything. And yes, stored in a resealable paint can, it can be reused.
What did you do to the bent shaft?
Because I was giving this putter to my daughter, I didn't focus too much on trying to fix it as its a very thin shaft. But I used the bend to change the lie angle a little bit. It was very upright so I glued the bend facing down so it had a little more flat of a lie.
is that just regular paint thinner solvent that you apply after paint fillers?
I use acetone to clean up the paintfill

It's probably plated metal. It only works on bare carbon steel

I also tried the same blueing solution on a scotty cameron futura phantom mallet 2, same result
@ethanaditya642 not sure. Would have to see it
Nice job. I have several TP Mills. Cold Blue is a gun blue product, correct?

I've recently started toying with Cerakote clear, and have done a raw carbon, Tei3 and turned out nice. But a standard paint will not hold up.
@@igolf906 I think I'm just going to oil it regularly and keep it dry.
Would you be able to work on my TP Mills putter? If so, please let me know. I appreciate your time.
Shoot me an email
Now I understand when they say aesthetics play a part when finding the right putter. There's no 3 putts with that bad boy.
Where do you get the paint to do the paint fill?
I think I got mine at a local Hobby Lobby but, its just standard Testors enamel, used for models and what not. A lot of hardware and hobby stores will have it. Maybe even Walmart?, and some other big box stores.
How did you align the shaft bend?
It looked almost like a factory bend, so as I forgot to mention it in the video. Before I glued the head back on, I measured the lie angle of the shaft inserted both ways, and one way was WAY too upright, so I swapped the shaft around and its just about perfect.
What is this tp mills putter made of. And just checking cause the bluing doesn’t work on stainless steel correct? Awesome video!

Nice job but I think a black gloss finish would have looked pretty good as well??? 👍

@@igolf906 do u have an instagram ?
@@oliverwebster6283 I do not currently. I've seen a ton of interest in these putter restorations so, I will be slowly branching out soon!
@@igolf906 any way i can reach out to you to ask some questions ?
@@oliverwebster6283 email me at igolf906@gmail.com

Could you send me some pics of your putter? From there I can better see what I can do for you! I would be more than willing to give it a try.
