Re: .. refinish an NSA
In Response To: Re: Sandblastered and polisching..... refinish an NSA bracel ()

Hi, you need to find a good shotblasting company, with a range of abrasives.

DO NOT sandblast, or grit blast.
-You will end up with a pitted surface that will be a nightmare to polish!

All you need to do is have the strap "BEAD Blasted".

-This will remove the PVD, and leave you with a polished surface
(which is already there under the PVD anyway!)

Hope this helps!
Gra.
