How to rust a wedge in one step

hemiths · Mar 13, 2018

Pay a shop, lol. Trying to concoct formulas using coke, vinegar, CLR, crocodile tears, etc. never works.

This cost $15 per head with a 24hr turn around. These will be so rusty, I'll need to update my tetanus shot.

Once the epoxy dries, I'll drip them in the Pacific and update this.

I don't mind a little rust but that is absolutely too much for me lol.

I like a little wear on my wedges, but that is waaaaaaaaaaaay too much

I'm a fan of rusty wedges but that is a little too much for me.

I like a rusty looking wedge but dang haha. I like to get a natural rust (easy to do here), but I have always found an easy way to do it is put the raw head into a bucket of salt water, soak a towel in the salt water, then wrap up the head in that towel then leave in a humid place for a day or two- Garage, trunk of your car, etc. Usual come out pretty even and just the right amount haha. I had raw nike wedge that rusted perfectly. Absolutely love it.

also, i love those ferrules

#Cookie · Mar 14, 2018

Nice work. And those ferrules are badass.

If you are really trying to get a good oxidation on a (non-plated) golf club follow these steps:

1. Blast it
2. Soak in Acetone for a few hours
3. Leave exposed to humid air overnight.

That is all

aljaklaw · Mar 14, 2018

Natural method doesn't hurt either.

hemiths · Mar 14, 2018

It's a thin line between love and hate, I know. Lol

I guess o should have been a little clearer - the initial rust picture was during a bath of salt water. After sitting overnight, I've given them a wipe down to get to what they SHOULD look like. I'm pleased.

Agreed, and that looks good.

Although, these were plated with nickle. Two were pvd and one was chrome. They had to be chemically stripped.

To each his own but those pictures hurt my soul.

How to rust a wedge in one step

For those of you that prefer the natural method, am I able to rust a set of MD3 wedges? They aren't the raw black finish, so I've heard it's not doable.

Gh0st · Mar 14, 2018

these look like they were recovered from the RMS Titanic..haha are those Jacks wedges?

Ohio Trojan · Mar 14, 2018

Ok, I guess I am dumb but I don't understand why you would WANT to make your wedges look like that.

you re not dumb, some people like the looks, most hate it. some claim it adds spin, it's been proven wrong, but hey, try what you want

its doable, but you need to take it somewhere and get the finish stripped off first. I believe their satin finish or whatever they call it is a plated finish. If you don't have anywhere near you, Continental Golf does a great job.
