first attempt at brass guard didnt go well...
Yall have been very good at giving me knowdledge and being patient with me so i am turning to you all once again!
I did my first attemp at a brass guard this weekend, the front against the blade turned out great, however when i soldered it the flux ran through to the back side against the handle and i when i sanded it off i can not get the scratches out no matter what i do. I have went all the way up to 600 grit sandpaper and even back down to 120 and started over going up to 800 again and it just gets worse.
It is an oval guard so it is not sanded down to the handle, it has about 1/4" all the way around the handle.
What can i do to get the scratches out? Will rubbing compound and a polish wheel do it?
