I'm sure i tried the same with some cheap ones, its nigh impossible to get in to sharpen them , best bet is to buy new and look after them. -
I'd like one of those for my staking set. I bought a cheap roller remover, thinking I could just file the jaws down so that it worked well. It didn't, so I ended up buying the Bergeon version, which does work well. Though, as @Neverenoughwatches points out, you do have to be careful not to damage the roller of staff. Rollers are very soft and easily bent whilst trying to remove or refit.

then just as I want to see if there is any differences I looked in the balance staff book. So basically with the exception of the super shock whatever that is it looks like they're close enough in length they should be fine.

Thats what i have scott. Read back a little i posted a few pictures. Basically i put a small quantity of around quarter inch in the bottom of a tin and heated it on a leccy oil burner. It doesn't need much heat, stuck the jewels to the lid with bluetack and the fumes coat the surface pretty quickly although the first i did i left for 5 hours but it does only take 5 mins if that. The coating does seem to come off easily so i am not sure if it actually works, but the stuff is really cheap and worth an experiment or two. I have seen that mix somewhere but vapour coat is supposed to be better. -
Would be interesting to see how well steric acid compares (or not) to the various epilames out there - anyone know the mixing ratios and solvent(s) etc for the steric acid?
