TechDiamondToolsDiamond Lapping Paste Polishing Compound USA Made 600 Grit Mesh 22-36 Microns Lapping Compound for Rock Glass Metal Jewelry Resin Marble with High Concentration of Diamond Powder

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!!!

I receive a pair of Knipex pliers that were stiff. When I held the pliers horizontally and released the lower handle to gravity the jaws would not open 100%. I combined small amounts of WD-40 and 100,000 grit (0.25 micron) diamond paste in oil in a shallow empty glass container. I used a tooth pick to stir these ingredients (about 10 minutes) until a homogenous slurry was made. I added a brief spray of WD-40 to achieve a consistency that was "right" - no lumps, not too thick, not too thin. I applied the slurry to the fulcrum and rubbing surfaces using a Q-Tip and set the tool aside for about 10 minutes to allow the slurry to penetrate spaces between the surfaces. I then worked the handles for an additional 10 minutes after which the jaws would finally open completely once the lower handle was released to gravity. (I performed the same process with my Tsunoda pliers but it required 70 minutes time to achieve the same results.) I then sprayed the fulcrum and rubbing surfaces with WD-40 to flush the slurry from the tool. I wiped the tool with a rag, applied more WD-40 to the fulcrum and rubbing surfaces, worked the handles again for about 30 seconds, and cleaned the surfaces with a rag. I allowed the WD-40 to evaporate (about 15 minutes), removed any remaining surface residue with a rag, reapplied light machine oil to the metal surfaces, and set the pliers aside. After 30 minutes I wiped excess oil from the pliers and placed them in my tool box.

My backup lens on the Tesla Model 3 has a very soft lens cover and gives a distorted view. After using glass cleaners, micro fiber cloths, other cleaners for exterior cameras I read about using a 2,000 or 3,000 grit polish. In amazon I did my reviews and came across TechDiamond. The polish was the amount I needed and the reviews were good so I tried it. I planned to use a buffer but first I used a microfiber cloth with a pea size amount of the paste. I hand buffed the lens with the paste and it worked! I have not used a buffer only a few minutes of carefully hand buffing. I was so surprised and pleased that this worked and was so easy!!

While stropping my Kershaw leek for the first time, this compound is so strong I actually was creating a tiny burr from the stropping process alone. You seriously cannot apply any pressure while stropping with this. I love it now that I understand it over the silicone dioxide types. Mirror finish.

I put this on a leather strop and it works very well to remove the burr on my knives. Easy to get shaving sharp

The media could not be loaded. Trying to polish glass. Diamond should cut glass no problem. But I am not receiving any good results. Trying more and more and I will let you know if I get any better results. I cannot tell you how much diamond there is in this paste. I even softened it in the microwave as instructed. See my video

I was looking for some diamond grit polishing compound for a metal on metal polishing project and am glad that I found TECH DIAMOND TOOLS grit in my Amazon search, this stuff ROX THE HOUSE! it is both a GREAT VALUE and a GREAT PRODUCT, I would highly recommend their products!

Bought a syringe of this to lap firearm parts. First time usind a diamond compound. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way. Cuts fast and is easily recoverable to reapply a second time on the part if needed. Will buy again if/when needed.

I used to shine metal knive, put the finishing touch on the sharpening knive.

The fact that this is 50% diamond grit, means that you use less, and get the job done quicker, which means that this is a brilliant product, which is likely to work out cheaper in the long run, especially if you are comparing it to the products that are only 5% to 10% diamond grit. And, I would’ve shown you how much it works with an opal that I spent just twenty minutes polishing, but I was unable to upload the pictures and video, because I refused to allow amazon access to my whole collection of pictures and videos.

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".

Yes. It a very good product. Able to remove the scratches easily.
