🔧 What it does & how to use
This clay is a bench essential for watchmakers and hobbyist repairers who need to lift oil, grease, fingerprints and stains from movement parts without damaging delicate pivots or jewels. It's also handy for drawing out broken pivots left in jewel holes and for retrieving tiny parts from awkward, hard-to-reach spots inside a movement.
- Balance and train wheel pivots: Dab the clay gently onto the pivot to lift off old oil and grime.
- Fingerprints and stains: Press the clay lightly onto the affected part and lift away — the mark transfers onto the clay.
- Excess oil on jewels: Touch the clay to the jewel to draw out surplus oil without disturbing the setting.
- Broken pivots: Use the clay to gently draw a snapped pivot fragment out of the jewel hole.
- Hard-to-reach parts: Use the supplied picks alongside the clay to recover small parts from awkward areas of the movement.
- Reuse: Fold or knead the clay to expose a clean surface before the next application.
