Polishing small pieces of jewelry with your Dremel or Foredom can be difficult because it is hard to hold on to or gets hot quickly. Green Guard-Tex Alligator Safety Tape designed for the medical industry is a great solution. Simply wrap around your fingers and it will help you to grip the piece and protect your fingers from the heat. You can get 6 rolls of 1″ x 30 Yards from Amazon for only $6.00. It’s a good idea to keep this tape in a zip lock bag to prevent it from drying out so that it maintains its grip.

I have recently came across Beaducation which is a terrific resource for metal stamped jewelry making supplies and online classes. Many of the classes are free! I have purchased several classes and found them all to be very good and reasonably priced. The line of stamps from Beaducation are also premium quality. Metal stamping is very popular these days and Beaducation at www.beaducation.com is an excellent resource. Other companies that sell quality stamping supplies are PJ Tool and Supply at www.pjtool.com and The Urban Beader at www.theurbanbeader.com.
