    I'm not an expert on these, and I only copy on Silca Matrix SX manual machine but to me the track looks too short and there seems to be a couple of dimple cuts missing?

    I'm seeing 414233??

    I've got a customer that's asked about Eurospec MP10 keys, the code on the back is BG 01712. Can these be cut on the genuine blank with the pre-cut dimples or will I have to cut the dimples myself? They may want 30+ keys cut so I wanted to try and avoid this if possible.

    HD TG1???

    Peek Polish I use this for brass signs as it is a cream and can be applied using a pet disc and a cloth so won't drag the paint out of the engraving

    I had one of these last week and couldn't find it under motorbikes and didn't recognise it. Customer went to a motorbike shop to source a blank for me to cut and came back with a Silca pod key Some days things just don't click in your head!!

    I cut one of these the other day, cut it on JMA AGE-1I. Worked a treat.

    I always cut UAP keys, whichever blank I'm using, by clamping the bottom groove, not the back edge. Seems to have solved the hit and miss of these locks.

    I used have a Storm watch dealer across from me so I've done loads over the years. A couple of customers are collectors so bring in a few at a time, some of them are bloody awful and a right pain in the arse just to replace a battery!!

    As Mike says, remove the little plastic plug right where the crown release is. Remove the crown and you should be able to take off the plastic and change the battery.

    I normally buy around the £8-£12 mark, double plus VAT markup. People round here won't pay fortunes for anything so they are a nice happy medium.

    I use Oxford Leathercraft, good range and good quality.

    392L is the reference but I looked on Bablas and they had nothing.

    A quick buff on a polishing mop or with a flexshaft/Dremel using some polishing compound should bring them to a shine nicely.

    I got told, I think it was by my CB rep, that Kiwi were no longer supplying independent wholesalers, only Tesco, Sainsbury's etc. and only in black & brown!

    They are on the front of a safe, Chinese I think! The customer left the keys in the locks then shifted the safe and snapped them both off. I managed to get the broken bits out but now she wants more cut. I thought the extraction was going to be the hard bit, took me 2 seconds, finding blanks is going to be the pain!!
  21. Michael
    Any ideas of a blank I might try please???

    What about trying the Angelus acrylic paints with a clear coat protective finish, like the stuff they use on cars and cricket bats. Its a clear adhesive vinyl that you put on, sometimes using heat to shrink fit it.

    If it had a cork infill it could be that rubbing the sole. You can lay a thin piece of cotton type material in between the cork and the sole to stop it. A little tip I found watching Youtube videos from Bedo's Leatherworks during lockdowns!!! Great craftsman, you should take a look at some of his work.
