TechDiamondTools Diamond Polishing Compound Polishing Paste 1,500 Grit 6-12 Microns for Marble Glass Metal Rock Jewelry Resin Silver Chrome Gemstone with High Concentration of Diamond Powder USA Made

I will pre-face this by saying I have purchased many different brands and types of diamond paste over the few weeks and almost all have the same issue with consistency and quality. The majority of the paste is as stated 200,000 grit but this is inconsistent and there are still larger chunks that will ruin a mirror finish for my purposes and for most folks purposes the pace needs to be consistent throughout and can't have random stray grits that are larger as this will always ruin mirror finish. I am using these to polish and watch parts that have to be perfect with zero scratches and even at 200,000 grit the finish should be 100% flawless but do to straight large chunks of diamond it really can't be used, maybe I just got a bad batch but this seems to be a consistent issue with almost all diamond paste products that I have used so far, however I will try to give it a go with another and see if this is better, if this turns out better I will edit this. Overall quality of this paste is great it's not died, and the quantity of diamond is exactly as stated at 50% for my per specific purchase, this really does aid and fast removal, especially as I am using this by hand and not with a powered machine. Maybe with the lower grits you may have more uniform and consistent results. Nonetheless I still would recommend this as it is likely some of the best I've used as of now

After months of trying to find a true working diamond paste, I finally decided to try TechDiamondTools. The pricing was great and quite frankly the cheap diamond paste was just not working for me (yeah...i tried to go cheap). I've been trying to find a reliable way to get scratches out of mineral glass and most internet searches claimed it was very difficult. Not only could I not find a guide to do this, but couldn't find a grit guide to use for mineral glass. The first thing I did was message the TechDiamondTools and asked for guidance. They replied to me several times and have been very courteous and helpful. They recommended several grits to try, so I went ahead and ordered.Here is what I used, and it works GREAT! Just be patient (this is the key to perfection).Rotary Tool (Cheap) I also used an adjustable speed control rotary tool with 3/32 pro bits compatible that is used for nail manicures. It's electric. I did a search on Amazon and the no longer sell it, but Pinkiou looks similar and it's cheap. I don't recommend using a high speed Dremel. I have one and it goes way to fast.I started with 600, then 1,500, 3,000, and finally 5,000 grit. The results were amazing!Now to keep things in perspective, I did mess up and used sandpaper on one of my other watches. Used 100 grit and that was a mistake. The pictures I posted, I didn't use sandpaper. On the other watch, it did get all the scratches the sandpaper made, however it took a bit more of time. Next time I'm using 2,000/1,500 grit sandpaper. I've read that's what should be used before using diamond paste. I currently have a 14,000 grit that I can't decide whether to use for polishing since the 5,000 did a superb job. I may just return that 14,000 and use the 8,000 for final polishing.Okay, back to the watch. the pictures are the result so the diamond paste. I "wish" that I had a picture of the watch before I even started, but I totally forgot to take some. The pictures are after I had already gone through using the 600 grit and the 1500 grit. As you can see the scratches I circled. Trust me before I started, these scratches were pretty bad. You could actually catch you fingernail on it. Not just a hairline scratch either. The final picture is the finished product, although it looks superb and flawless, I wonder what a final polish with 8,000 or 14,000 would do. I haven't tried that yet. Anyway, I am very pleased with DiamondTechTools, they actually worked with me to replace the 400 grit because it seemed watered down, but they made it right. As a hobby I work on Casio's digital watches and refurbish them, and the biggest problem with refurbishing is the scratches on the glass.Well to end this, I'd like to say I did order the 400 grit paste and will start with that to see if it cuts back on my time. The pictures of the watch I posted took me about 3 hours to get the scratches out, I'm hoping with 400 grit, I'm able to cut that time in half. I don't like to used sand paper, but I will if there are a lot of bad scratches, then I will. Just don't use 100 grit like I did. Use 2,000 or 1,500. I'd also like to say, if you use this process, your result may vary. I want to say that because I'm a very meticulous person and I take my time. I'm only putting this out because this actually worked for me after all failed attempts with other diamond paste, and no I didn't get any free products from TechDiamondTools. If Amazon lets me, since I ordered like 6 syringes of different grits, I want to post more pictures of scratched up watches and the results. Hope this helps folks out there that have not found any documents on getting scratches out of mineral glass, because there really isn't any clear document that outline this.Hope this help those watch enthusiast out there!! And thank you DiamondTechTools, ya'll are awesome and keep making those American Products GREAT!!!

Follow directions to get the best results

I mostly liked that you don't need a lot of paste to get an awesome polish. I ordered the wool pads and both combo boxes and also the 200,000 grit single tube and would highly recommend all of it.The only constructive criticism I could say is that the paste syringe can be tricky to eject a small amount. The paste at the end can be not as squeezable as the rest on the tube so as soon as that amount exits the syringe then the rest wants to follow easily.Also, not anything on the product but definitely wear vinyl/layex gloves to not get the paste or plating on your fingers.

not worked perfect, you need some tools to work perfect

I had a deeper scratch on my watch from pool tiles and found out a need glass face would cost the same as the watch. I tried the 3000 grit as directed and it filled in the scratch to make it a much more superficial looking scratch. It’s less noticeable now and gave the overall watch a nice polish.It won’t perform miracles, but it will make it look better.

I used this to polish a tungsten carbide wedding ring that had dulled to a completely matte finish over the years. The end result was a perfect mirror finish just like it was when new. It took a little practice to get the buffing technique correct using a dremel tool with a polishing wheel. With a little patience I was able to get it down. The tube has plenty of product for this application. A little bit goes a long way, though you should regularly apply small dabs while polishing to ensure the material is present and hasn't been completely wiped away by the tool. Took me about 45min of slowly working the surface of the ring with the compound, then cleaning it off, and starting over again until achieving the level of shine I wanted. Some tips: keep the dremel speed low, wear eye protection and clothing that you don't mind getting dirty as the material will spray off of the buffing wheel. It helps to apply with a finger first since the diamond paste is thick and hard to spread with the dispenser tip alone. It doesn't take much to do the job, but you don't want to let the surface being polished to get dry.Bottom line: this product works well (provided you have the patience to use it properly). Tube looks small, but it will last many years for small polishing jobs like cleaning rings and scratches. Will purchase again if needed.

I used the 500, 1200, 5,000, 14,000, and 50,000 on a bolt action rifle to smooth it out. It worked great

I forgot to order ALL the different pastes so, until then, I really can't say much, aside from that it was HIGHLY recommended!

Light scratches and scuffs will be gone using this.Anything else it wont be enough to remove the damage but make it smoother and less apparent.

Very good product

This paste (14,000 grit) does wonder to my straight edge razor after the 10,000 grit stone (using flat leather strop).I might still get the 50,000 grit to get a perfect edge, but it's already close to being "as new".
