SUNSHINE POLISHING CLOTH
  THE BEST ONE WE HAVE FOUND, 
LASTS FOR AGES!  GREAT TO HAVE AT HOME
Safe to use on Gold, Silver, Brass, Copper, Bronze surfaces.

SPC.100 - (5 x 7.5 in - 1 PER BAG)
Keep your metal components refreshed by rubbing surface to be polished with medium pressure. Special polishing and cleansing action works until cloth is completely darkened and then some! We use these at the Rosary Workshop and love the finish it gives. (Do not wash cloth.) 
+
CLEANING TIPS:
Since our metals are cast by hand from antique pieces by several casters, the colors do not always match exactly. And various batches that come from the casters are not always the same. We have found this cloth helps bring most bronzes and silvers together. 
+
FINE STEEL WOOL
We also use a very, very fine steel wool (#0000+) which takes care of the heavier jobs and will not hurt the surface of the metals and helps give a satin finish to some of the shinier surfaces. Keep both on your work table. Available at most hardware stores.

CORRUGATED CRIMPING BEADS
 2 mm CRIMPING BEADS (.019 wire)

SMALL (5 gram) & LARGE (1 oz) POUCHES
WE USE THESE IN OUR WORKSHOP
5 Grams - (approx 150 beads)  We searched a long time for crimping beads that were clean and did not break or become uneven when crimped.  And now make them available to you. 
+
BLK OX IS OUR FAVORITE
General rule : Match your wire to your medals, crimps to the wire. (PS. We only use the blk ox unless working with a very very light bead series as they have a tendency to visually disappear from sight.)

CRIMPING PLIARS
 CRIMPING PLIERS

WE USE THESE IN OUR WORKSHOP
A must for crimping corrugated beads to secure your wire.  Don't try crimping without them as these pliers create a 'bead' - (see instructions on how to use them below.) You will love the way they give your crimps a professional finish. (We use these in our workshop.)

 ECONOMY SIDE CUTTERS

  GREAT FOR LIMITED USE
Soft Flex Wire is so strong that it will eventually wear down the best of cutters but these will give you good serice if not abused.  Rust-free, made of hardened stainless steel with removable coil springs and lap-joint construction. (We used these economy cutters in the workshop for years until we discovered the Professional side cutters ' flex shears'  below)

CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS
 SECURING WIRE
 To Secure Soft Flex wire use crimping beads:
   +
1. Finish work:   by threading crimping bead onto wire.
2. Loop wire through end ring:   then back through crimping bead.
3. Carefully/slowly pull wire into place:  release tension a bit for some play.
4. Secure wire into place by crimping bead:   with crimping pliers (see below).
+
 FORMING CRIMPING BEAD 
To form a tight, well shaped crimped bead always use crimping pliers.  Note shape of two areas for crimping. (For proper crimping - make sure you hold pliers so curve points towards you and perpendicular to wire)
+
1. Inside 'crimper' - folds bead into a 'c' shape as it tightens and secures wire. 
2. Outside 'folder' - flattens and folds bead back onto itself. 
3. To round bead off - turn bead 1/4 turn, crimp again.
