Love watching these works of art take on a born again new look , I'd love to do this sort of thing when I retire as a hobby but you make it look way easier than it is. Awesome job
Overall a great job and beautiful putter. One thing though, I can see the milling marks on the head. I don't know if that's on purpose. I'm new to golf and have seen something similar on other putters. If not, some wet/dry sandpaper and gun oil would get them out using a block sander.
Great job love that finish look you did. I'm going to try it, thanks for the insight in this video. I hope my putter will look half as good. Thanks again
Great job on this putter!! I'd like to see you restore one of the older tei3 Scotty's, like the Newport with the terrilyum inserts like you have on one of your short videos... I've got an old Santa Fe that needs refinishing. And I REALLY don't want to screw it up...
You can torch oil can it. Or gun blue it. I believe if your Bettinardi is made of soft carbon steel you can accomplish those finishes. You need to find that out first. If it’s stainless steel you could Powdercoat it.
@@scratchlessputters I would be interested in paying for some work if that is something you can do. I can send you some photos of the one I have as example.
The Laguna is my fave model and this was an excellent tutorial. Looking to finding an "older" one in need of a makeover and do a bit of a proj where I can use it afterwards. Thanks.
I really enjoyed this clip, and I decided to follow your case with my old Scotty Cameron Tei3. But I have some questions: (1) Why beads blasting before torching? Would there be any difference in quality between with and without beads blasting before torching? (2) How long have you heated up the putter head with the heating gun before torching it. (3) What gas have you used in torching? Please, provide me with some tips.
Bead blasting smooths the minor imperfections in the putter that you may not be able to access with just the wheel. I usually heat up the putter head for about 5 minutes all over before torching, and use just a generic Butane torch you can buy at any hardware store.
Wow! Fantastic job! I want to correct my Scotty Cameron phantom x which is black and has some chips along the top front edge. What kind of paint should I use? Acrylic flat?
@@scratchlessputters what is the name of the fill paint on the Laguna? You did a nice job on this Putter and I’m seriously looking into having mine refinished. Thanks
That's an aspect ratio I haven't seen for a while! Great job! Makes me want to find an old Scotty and do one myself. It's a shame they also seem super expensive regardless of the condition they're in
That is my dream putter, and you made it even better! I love your paint fill process. What is your paint of choice? I tried so many, but have yet to find a real durable paint.
Hello from Korea. It was great video that I need to know. And I have a question about oil. When You done torch what kind of oil shoud I dip. Please let me know. Thanks.
Hello there. Watching from the UK 🇬🇧 Videos are great , very informative and your putters look amazing. I’m a joiner by trade and a keen golfer. Just bought a nice bench grinder , some mops, wax and a de burr wheel. Have tried a couple of ping mang. bronze putters and got them to a lovely polished finish. Just bought a battered old Spalding TPM 7 , would like to try my first torched finish, would you say you have to do the sand blast ? (I have nothing to do that with yet). I was going to try for a high polish finish before torching , will some of the shine survive torching , many thanks 🏌🏻♂️😊
@@travism3510 there are plenty of lower end options but they typically lack rigidity. A center dot can be drilled with a cheap drill press and a fixture. Milling a face truly flat is much more equipment intensive.
@@scratchlessputters As in not forged. I have a cheaper, fairly old putter that I just can't seem to get out of my bag. The face needs refinishing for accuracy's sake and it looks like ass. lol
@@MrBillSabre it depends on the head material for sure. Stainless steel you can refinish/powdercoat, but won't get you the colors you get when torching carbon steel. I'd check what the putter head is made of. Tried a Ping once but won't again. It was made of manganese bronze and highly toxic to work with.
I didn’t take the time to scroll through the comments but do you take on restoration projects? I have a Scotty that has huge sentimental value to me that I would love to have you quote me on the restoration….
Can I ask what grit deburring wheel you use? I want to try it in my own back garden in Ireland. I have refurbed and torched many a raw head wedge, but I think I need a little more refinement when trying a Scotty.
@@rydaug79 if the temperature's are the same I don't see why not. The only thing I like about this microwave is I use it only for putters, I wouldn't mix these chemicals with cooking
@@scratchlessputters just seems like the oven on a bare metal putter with no chemicals would heat it up the most even and then you can get it the rest of the way with the torch. I did it and it worked well.
Imma do a restoration and then make it look like the rat bastard from Scottie’s 2012 4 part video with a twisted neck.. couple welds beads on the back of the pitter head for some more weight and welded neck!! I’m excited
Great work, fantastic craftsmanship! What type of oil do you use after the torching process? If you sprayed with water during the torch woukd you achieve an iridescent finish?
I have a 1982 SC NEWPORT that I neglected to oil etc. over the years so am looking to restore it myself as Titleist want 250 sterling to do it. I can do the clean up and polishing myself and know a company that can skim mill the face to replicate original mill pattern. I’m willing to give the heat bluing myself but just asking if you use any particular oil grade. 👍
Do you store your acetone in a paint can? Do you save it in that and reuse it as well. Starting to get into restoration and want to handle acetone appropriately. How do you end up disposing it?
I do! I use this to take off the paint before I start my restoration, but use fresh acetone when I'm doing cleanup on my paintfill. I store it in metal or glass containers. I'd check your local dump if they dispose of hazardous chemicals
I have an old Scotty Cameron gun metal and it has rust on it. I would love to get this done to mine. But I don't have the talent, persistance or the tools....
You should weigh it pre and post finish. I'm curious how much you took off. You said the deburring wheel could take off 5-8g's just from that. Great job again.
Very nice, what kind of oil did you use after the torch? Also do you know what kind of metal the head was? Will this method work with 304 stainless steel?
Dude that’s awesome. I’ve been trying my hand and have had some success haha. Or at least enough for to want to keep doing it. I was curious though, what kind of oil do you dip it in after the heat?
Beautiful job! Thanks for this tutorial it has given me confidence to take on my studio design restoration. Question: Will sandblasting ruin the stock milled face? I would like to preserve the stock milling on my putter but of course remove the rusty finish

I’m pretty sure it looks better now that it did when it was brand new….Great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow.... very impressive. The final color is amazing!
Scotty Cameron’s are easily the best looking putters out there! Especially the early to mid 2000’s
can't disagree!
Great job, that putter looks great now. Thanks for showing us the process you use
Love Restoration videos wish i still had my old Scotty superb job
Wow!!!! Ur so skilled brother, I'm so happy for u!!!!
I have one of these putters... Bought around 1998 ish. Still as good as new.
You did great job mate. Your patience is incredible.
On the verge of doing this with a Yes! Putter that is being delivered sometime today. This has been very helpful. Thank you for all the tips.
this method works on carbon steel, so may want to verify head material

Really amazing transformation. Great job 👍👍

Do you ever mill the back bumpers on putters? Some of the old Scotty cameron newport 2 used to have milling on the back.
Haven’t tried it but definitely will sometime.

Love the work, when putting the heat gun on the putter, have you put anything on it to make it turn blue or does it just do that with the heat?
It's from the heat.
Nice work ✌🏻👊🏻👏🏻
That was excellent I'm going to try it on my old wilson
Restoration is beautiful job.
Thank you. Cheers!
I had one of these Laguna putters and traded it in back in the early 2000s like a fool.

Where do i get that buffing pad, I bought one from ebay but it was so hard it had sparks coming off my golf club
I’ve got a 1998 Newport 2, gunna give it a shot, what kind of deburring wheels should I use?
Hey, amazing job man! Can You tell me what kind of polishing wheel do You use?
Putter looks sick
Thank you for the video Scratchless Putters. What happens if you skip the oil quenching step? Would the blue finish still last?
Also will this torched blue look work on SS?
If you skip the oil quench part you’ll have no penetration of oil in the surface to protect from moisture. Which will result in the chance of rust.
@@johny719 if you try torch SS it’ll turn a bronze/gold finish. No vibrant colors like the blues and purples etc.
Beautiful job tho sir!! Well done
how much was that milling machine ?! and was it made for that or no?
Milling machines can be bought used for a few thousand dollars and are general purpose tools - not specific to milling clubs.
@@poetac15 nice. Are there cheaper ones that can do stuff like mill a sight dot on a putter or maybe re-mill a putter face type shit?
@@travism3510 there are plenty of lower end options but they typically lack rigidity. A center dot can be drilled with a cheap drill press and a fixture. Milling a face truly flat is much more equipment intensive.
True artist.
Thank you!

What kind of oil are you soaking it in
? Looks awesome
1:1 2-stroke cycle blue dye and any penetrating wrench oil

I'm curious, can this process be done to 303SS putters?
you can torch SS but it won't produce the same colors. I've gotten a golden-ish finish on those
You should weigh it pre and post finish. I'm curious how much you took off. You said the deburring wheel could take off 5-8g's just from that. Great job again.
Will the oil dip stop it from rusting after use? What oil is used to not effect the finish?
no, it still rusts over time. I rub baby oil into it regularly especially after rainy rounds to help prolong the finish.
Amazing !
Linseed oil? Perhaps light motor oil?
Very nice, what kind of oil did you use after the torch? Also do you know what kind of metal the head was? Will this method work with 304 stainless steel?
I use 2 stroke motor oil blue dye) and penetrating oil. 50/50.
SS won't produce the blues/purples, only carbon can get that range
... wowzee! Wann have one like this...
Dude that’s awesome. I’ve been trying my hand and have had some success haha. Or at least enough for to want to keep doing it. I was curious though, what kind of oil do you dip it in after the heat?
would you recommend blueing a putter as we can do with a firearm ?? I believe this could do a good finish.
