It will not remove deep scratches, heavy casting marks, or significant surface defects. Jewellery should be appropriately prepared before tumbling for the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its elongated shape, diagonal shot may become lodged in small openings, chain links, hollow components, or gemstone settings. Always check that the jewellery is suitable for this type of tumbling media before use. Delicate chains, soft gemstones, and fragile jewellery components may be unsuitable for steel shot burnishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, the media should still be cleaned and dried after use. Avoid leaving the shot sitting in contaminated water or unsuitable cleaning solutions for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1kg pack of stainless steel diagonal shot provides a durable, reusable burnishing solution for jewellers seeking improved access to detailed surfaces and bright, consistent finishing results in rotary tumblers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koodak Jewellers' Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67962748993630,"sku":null,"price":45.62,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/koodak.com.au\/products\/stainless-steel-shot-media-for-rotary-tumblers-diagonal-shape-only-1kg","provider":"Koodak Jeweller's Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
