The instructor also covers polishing, shaping and resizing the ring. The red heat patina created is protected with Renaissance wax. What I liked about this tutorial is all the additional tips like supply alternatives. No jeweler's rouge?Use automotive polish. He even shares the formula to determine the length of metal strips needed for a particular ring size!
