Refinishing golf clubs (mostly putters) is a fun hobby anyone can do at home. If you like to tinker, this is the series for you!

Although you can't use the Birchwood Casey Kit as shown in the Carbon Steel Black Oxide Tutorial, there is a product that produces a similar effect on a stainless steel putter.  Caswell's Stainless Steel Blackener is a great finish to apply to a Scotty Cameron putter, or any other modern-day putter.

Preliminary Steps-Before doing this finish, you must:

  • Remove the nicks and dings
  • Beadblast with 80-120 grit glass beads
  • Clean with dish soap and water
  • Rinse with distilled water (you won't get a smooth finish if you rinse with regular water)

Materials Needed

Bead blast the club before you apply the sealer, but after you have applied the SS Blackener.
