I am getting set up to do bead blasting here at Benarus HQ to better serve our customers with refinishing, buckle and bracelet blasting, or anything else you might want me to blast. I ordered fine glass beads for the media and they should arrive next week. |

Steve, Would you take the watch apart and bead blast the pieces separately? How will you protect the crystal? Would you remove the bezel(and blast it separately) to eliminate any chances of bead blasting the crystal? Gerald |

He is the best I know for custom work and blasting, he blasted an old Tag Heuer of mine and it is flawless. |

Steve, I have a satin brushed steel watch. Will you polish it first before blasting or would it make a difference whether the original is polished or brushed. Will we see the "brushed lines" after bead blasting? Thanks |

Axelay2003 wrote:Steve, blasting will remove brushed lines, it will not fix dents, but will remove scratches. I will experiment with blasting brushed and polished, and even blasted parts, I will blast the blasted parts to see if my beads change the brightness of the finish. I need to wait for the glass beads to arrive, to do my own testing before I know the answers to the questions. I will post photos of the parts I blast. |
