hurry up and start polishing. First, you need to pass the base-coating stage for the Da King Kong. After getting a new bracelet, everyone wants to start polishing it right away, but if you can't pass the base-coating stage for the Da King Kong, everything else will be in vain. Let me explain what base-coating is all about once and for all.

Why do we need base-coating?

Why do we need base-coating? It's to clean off the alkali residue and thoroughly scrub the crevices, so that the surface of the seed can be clean and smooth. If the base-coating isn't done well, the dirty stuff in the crevices will stay there, and the polishing will turn out dark and uneven in color.

How to do base-coating?

How to do base-coating? In the early stage, focus on hard brushing to clean out the alkali residue in the crevices along the grain. Do this for one or two hours every day. After the alkali residue is completely removed, use a combination of hard and soft brushes to clean the crevices and polish the surface. During the base-coating period, try not to handle the bracelet too much so that the seed can become clean and shiny first. It's normal to spend two to three months on this process.

How to determine that base-coating is complete?

How to determine that base-coating is complete? There are three standards: no alkali residue left in the crevices, a clean and dust-free surface, and a smooth and shiny texture when touched. If all three are met, you can start polishing normally. Spending more time on base-coating will save you time later on, so don't be impatient.

Although the days of base-coating are boring, watching the bracelet become cleaner and brighter day by day gives you a sense of satisfaction that only those who have experienced it can understand. Once the base-coating is done well, polishing will go smoothly.
