Re: Satin Finish bars
In Response To: Satin Finish bars ()

I hope you're not rubbing the metal of your watch in a circular pattern!! The best way to use the bar is to take the bar and lightly rub the metal in a STRAIGHT LINE WITH THE GRAIN! Remove the leftover dust after each stroke. Time consuming, yes, but the results are worth it.

You can rub across the engraving, but don't make it a habit, as the bar is abrasive, and will take the engraving off after many rubbings.
