Cleaning up some Irons

Cleaning up my set of Ping ie-1 irons from 2014 tonite. Gave the grips a good cleaning too… the original grips.. and they feel great! Here a before and aft...

colej I probably erased the Hydropearl finish but who cares. The irons mark up so easily with that finish its terrible. If I had something like the i500 irons I would probably not sand the face but would do the backs and soles of the heads.

Par4QC Rex, you could look for a compressor with a bad motor and daisy chain the tanks together. After a while get a new motor and run both...

Par4QC

Walterjn I have to get a bigger compressor to start with. The small one I have also has small motor/output.
Spring project, at best. Ya don't do this type shit this time of year, where I live. 😉

Walterjn You can buy scotchbrite dremel pads. Don't try the sanding wheel with the dremel though... it bounces and makes for an uneven sanding job.

Walterjn

Typhoon Yeah, except I'm a cheapskate, and can probably build it with the shit in the garage....
So no trip to the hardware store for that...

Walterjn

Par4QC Noisy AF also. I just got an email from HF and was thinking of trying something different

Look into large rock tumblers... Those are fairly well insulated for noise.uou just need something large enough to fit heads and media... My brother uses a small one to clean brass before he reloads it...

Typhoon

Walterjn Dude, the little wheels are a lot less than the time you’ll take trying to make one.

Walterjn

Typhoon not at 9 pm when nobody is open and I'm not wanting to stop my project...

Par4QC

Walterjn ceramic polishing stones or stainless steel pins

Right now, I have a ton of aluminum shavings/chips. I should save them/try them.

Walterjn

Par4QC I don't think that will give you the finish you're looking for...

Worked on the Nikes this afternoon. Didn’t do much, they don’t mark up like the Pings do. Sandpapered the face, light sanding on the toe. Came out great. Now I’ll take pics and see if I can sell everything

I have one of the vibratory tumblers with ceramic media and solution I got from Golfworks years ago.

Does a Great job, but is noisy.

CallMeAl ceramic media

I can't get out to get any of this, but I do have a lot of dishes in the cupboards. And the wife won't be home for a couple more weeks.

Men are 'clumsy', in the kitchen, ya know? 🤣

What is the vibratory solution? I got a tumbler along with a bunch of other equipment when I bought out a guy who retired. It is full of the pyramid shaped media. What liquid can I use in it if I ever use it?

If I remember correctly, I used Dawn once when I misplaced my bottle of solution. Only takes a cap full.

You just want something to prevent the particles from sticking.

Good Luck!
