Wedge customization and paintfill (sandblasting flag)

Wedge customization and paintfill (sandblasting flag)
This man reminds me of Pakistani workers grinding stuff without proper precautions. I'm sure to screw something up or hurt myself trying to do this to my putter. I might as well throw it in the garbage now and save some time.
This is about the crudest restoration I have ever seen. I restore metal wood planes where flatness is essential. My suggestion is to just lightly use the groove tool to clean the grooves up. If you need more than that, buy a new wedge. I have a 56 degree wedge that I use to hit balls off rocks in the desert. It looks brutal and works just fine. All of my other clubs are pristine and in covers 100% of the time. My point is to take great care of your clubs and you never have to waste any time restoring them.
Thanks for content. Very helpful.
Any videos on how to set a schedule Or get it connected to WiFi?
@@jimwest153 I keep thinking about doing one. I use an old phone because of worry about the app and security. Tips Setup each light individually Don't change the time zone. Just adjust to your time on schedule.
I see you got a8se II max version ;)
Nice I’m waiting on the A7 myself I heard the difference is led Cree and semi led Ase pro is a G6 all other are G5. Good video
Yeah never buying a mp40 again! You can buy almost 4x of these guys for the price of one MP40. Price increase on them is outrageous man!!!!
Does the transfer heat not loosen the epoxy in the hosel? I was thinking about doing a chemical patina on my irons.
@@TreySayles The heat definitely transfers. You will likely need to reglue. Super easy with a steel shaft. With graphite, you have to be careful.
why file twice, second time made it looked scratched at 2:53
It's been a bit so I'm not 100% sure. I do believe I wanted a roughed up surface for more grip.
@@bradreef ok thanks brad, and what would you recommend for newer face technology with intricate groove and milling that have rusted over?
@@MatthewHung-x4v the micro millings have very minimal effect on shots. There are a few published studies on this.
@@bradreef Yes, I didn't feel a difference with micro millings. I have a jaws raw wedge that's face has rusted over, but i would rather have a clean face like yours and I don't know if filing it would ruin it. Sadly I don't have access to a sander like that or a sand blaster only sand paper. The bottom of the wedge is discolored and I was wondering if just the steel wool contraption would work for that. I appreciate the feedback, I am high school golfer and am thinking this could be a valuable business venture.
Hey Brad, I just removed the plating on a wedge and was wondering if it is okay to leave it unplated? I know it will rust again because of that, but doe it affect the play?
@@thedrmrcapz I think unplated is best
@@bradreef thank man! appreciate the quick reply as well. hope you have a merry Christmas.
What if you wanted them completely off at night because you have other pumps running? If you leave that time greyed out will they shut off?
@@rahrah8969 correct. Or you could add a section on feed mode
@@bradreef Thank you. Feed mode can be adjusted from 0 to 100 percent?
First thing you did was sand the sole. My new SM9 went through the plating on the sole in two months of not heavy use. No way to sand any more.
@@stevesmith3890 I try to stay away from played wedges
Have you been able to connect through the app? I have an ECP-90M with the same wifi and bluetooth controller and I can't connect it to my cell phone.
@@franmartinezguijarro8402 it connected right away with no issues. I have heard that these connect better than other jebao wavemakers
Did you try and swap out the jebao website with the Ecotech wet side. I would think it should work.
@@jtdr2023 I've. Heard it works. I haven't done it.
Thanks for the video!
which would be best for 40 breeder the 20 or 30 MDP
@@eltornado8 I'm a fan of running the bigger one with lower flow levels. But what I've seen of the 20 in videos is that it will move across the 40 breeder fine. If sps, I say 30 . If lps 20.
Where to buy
@@harveydickerson8291 m.alibaba.com/x/AxncsU?ck=pdp
I would love to try one of these. MP40 are so expensive. I have 4 of them on my 130.
The suction cups are an awesome addition! Makes it harder for the dry and wet side to dislodge on its own.
@@sulaimanbinadenaankherekar8063 I agree, but I know they will weaken over time
Hi, thanks for the video. Does random mode has ability to set max flow %? or It doesn't have any settings for it? Thanks.
Random didn't give me percent adjustment
Hi, can you measure Diameter and Length of the dry side ? Thanks
@@Kurlys78 it sticks out just over 2.5 inches. According to specs. It's 78 mm or just over 3 inches in diameter
@@bradreefthank you
Alibaba? I can’t seem to find them anywhere else yet.
@@kevin8360 only Alibaba or AliExpress. Very new still.
After trying there dosing pump i have no faith in them
@@cowleysmobilewelding some of their stuff is great some not. Their dosing pumps are hit or miss. Their return pumps are top notch though.
@bradreef after spending thousands on our tanks I really don't want risk it on cheap stuff anymore. Flow pumps maybe but never again on something critical like dosing
Impressive first look at this pump… pretty tempting at 1/3 the cost. Please consider a longer term follow up since Xmas is getting closer😜
100%, I did a video today showing the app controls if that matters to you.
Where did you order from
@@MattFaulkner77 Alibaba. Better prices than AliExpress right now. m.alibaba.com/x/AxmHlB?ck=pdp
@@MattFaulkner77 m.alibaba.com/x/AxncsU?ck=pdp
how silent they are ?
Mine is very quiet. If alligned properly, they seem to be close to silent.
Finally.
So far, very happy with this wavemakers.
Any suggestions to order this part?
I just measured the insert thickness and bought a flat copper bar on eBay
I'm getting ready to re-furnishing a wedge. That as ding in it. Can you do it with sandpaper? Thanks
@@joeydarlington5215 yes, I would still hammer out as much as you can. This will make it so you don't have to remove much material.
@@bradreef when u say material. You mean metal ?
@@bradreef how much was a flat file
@@joeydarlington5215 you can do most of it with a file. It's just faster with an electric sander
@@bradreef ok ty brother
Awsome. Thank you
Did you just make this club illegal?
It's a fine line. As long as you don't exceed the legal groove limits, then no. If you use a tool. Try to ensure it is the correct size. I measured mine.
Try using hot water to save the ferrule. It’s too easy to overheat the ferrule with a torch. Hot water from a coffee pot usually works. Use the inside of a cut grip to grab the ferrule and spin it until it comes loose.
Is it just me or does the reconditioned face look more dinged up than the original?
Wow amazing work sr
Put a squirt of Dawn on the old grip, scrub it with wet/dry sandpaper under running hot/warm water. Rinse thoroughly....They feel brand new!
Suggestion, where some heavy duty gloves when working wire wheels and clamp the club down when using angle grinders
Never ever ever wear gloves while working a bench grinder. That's a recipe for getting pulled in.
Never use gloves with any rotary tool ever.
Will I be arrested if I use a groove tool on my clubs?
yes like scheffler
Wondering how do you do on your impact face. Sand blast using what kind of Sand material and how much Pressure is used?
I use a harbor freight blasting cabinet and aluminum oxide media. I don't use a ton of pressure, maybe 25 or more lbs. Depends on the wedge metal. Some are harder, and some are soft.
In my final touches video(towards the end) it shows me blasting a face. It's very quick.
How did you know what thickness of copper you need to fill the insert? I'm interested in this as a summer project so I'm curious how you would kow that before pulling out the insert. Thank you in advance!
I can't remember if I did know prior. I believe I pulled it and measured it. You could always ask on golfwrx.con
It burned the black rubbery tape part that hold the club and shaft together still works but any way i can avoid that part getting burned ?
The ferrule? You typically want to remove and replace. You could heat it a little and slide it up the shaft away from the head. Then replace once cooled.
Does the face finish lasts long? Won't it get rust quickly? I've seen videos with some kind of electric treatment (I thought it was needed for the refinish to last longer). Thanks!
Raw and torched does wear quickly compared to plating. I have other videos where I plate wedges, and that is more durable.
@@bradreef Yeah I imagined! What about the face? I am from Brazil and I am thinking on doing these refurbs for my clubs (golf clubs are very expensive here).
I normally grind and polish the whole club face. Not too much at the grooves area, they still should be present 😅. After taping and sandblasting the grooves area the club face looks like new and the sides are still shiny.
I tried it on a vokey SM5 but I got a very blotchy Wedge. I guess this could come from the nickel or chrome plating. Maybe I haven't removed all of it. The blotchy parts turned blue very fast but lost the color later on. Maybe you have some hints for me.
Definitely due to coating. Look at my played wedge finish video for details
@@bradreef thanks for replying. I don't get any helpful information out of your "plated wedge refinish" video. It shows no Infos about torching and nickel or steel.
Sheesh guy, if it were me I would be wearing a protective leather glove, at the least, to protect my fingers from an errant grind / sandpaper skin gouge or scrape. Second, I also try to stabilize the club head by inserting into a grip wedge inserted into a vise. Otherwise, another "dime-a-dozen" vid on golf club refinishing. Anyway, thanks for your time and work, still informative.
For buffing, try starting with a denim wheel and then final touch with a cotton wheel. I know u said its not a showroom club, u could just even use the denim wheel and call it good.
Great job tho
I just added a deburring wheel. I'll have to try a denim wheel
very creative with the tools you have. I'll just go and buy the insert for a few bucks.
If you wanted to torch just a section of the club what do you recommend? I bought some aluminum foil high temp tape but it’s still not strong enough at Max 200 degrees
That would be hard to do, as heat transfers in metal easily. I can't remember the specific color change temperatures, but I know it's over 400 degrees
@@bradreef thanks for the reply, someone is doing it. Must be expensive tape lol
Hi can I check with u isit possible to tape up the areas that doesn't need to be nickel plated before soaking in for electroplating? Cause am thinking to restore some irons clubface /grooves area only rather than the whole club as its only the sweetspot rusted and chrome wear off .
That should work. I would just make sure to use a tape that adhere's while in the solution.
@@bradreef thanks bud
and all of sudden, vinyl and stensil pop up without any explanation 'how' but 40 secs spent on vinegar and salt solution, hahahaha
You can order stencils on Etsy for a few dollars. My wife can cut mine.
@@bradreef thanks
Amazing, no clamping, no gloves, but GREAT results!! I admire your process!!
