The oxidizer i use here is called Black Max # 331053. It works great and i find it easier to use than the Liver of Sulfur in this case. I hope this is of some help. Thank you for watching. Mark N Tech
Hello Ashly, to ensure we answered your question accurately we spoke with our Tech Team. They said the best way to clean your steel block is with fine sandpaper or steel wool. We hope this was helpful; feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Use baking soda to remove the rising agent it can be water but cover in baking soda to remove all of the H20 and use the steel wool to remove all rust and the baking soda will help here. then clean off the block with a dry rag or paper towel.
Any tips on stamping .925 (or your name) on intricate wire wrapped jewelry, particularly the "heady" style wire wrapped pieces covered in filigree? I'm thinking a pre-determined spot on the piece that can be seen upon completion has to be chosen *before* its construction, and that the chosen wire has to be thick enough in order for it to even be able to be stamped... 🤔. Anyone???
@@RioGrande1944 Thank you! It's a bit of a puzzle, and something I've never come across on those styles before. Going forward, it's definitely something I want stamped on my creations for all the good reasons.
I could really use a greek key pattern stamp like you used on the kokopelli bolo. I couldn't find one on Rio Grande. Am I missing it or is it no longer available? I don't want to pay over $110 for a custom stamp when the stock pattern stamps are under $12.
It seems I'm always purchasing tools based on these videos, lol. So-can you tell me where to find the hammer you favored in the video? I did some searches on the Rio site, as well as Stuller's, and came up short. Thanks!
Hi Melissa. Here is a link to the hammer I’m using in the video. www.riogrande.com/Product/GersonHammer-68-oz/112112?Pos=1 It’s more of a mallet than a hammer but I love using it. Hope this helps. Mark N Tech
Wow awsome I like to have a stamp tool with my name on it so I can stamp my name on the things I make like my ceramics and charms... How do I do that do I go to some website that can customize my name on to a stamping tool?? I would like my signature made on it. Thanks for the great video and HOPE you can help me with my question. =)

Try a Fretz 1.5# hammer. Perfect weight and balance. Heads replaceable.
