Hello, Valued Customer!
Thank You for Choosing Rosenthal Collection, For carefully curated products.
To achieve the best performance out of your, ”Rathburn Ring Stretcher” we decided to make this video just for you.
Here I will demonstrate how to use a Rathburn Ring Stretcher you will need... any sort of Heavy Mallet, a Ring sizing Mandrel, and I’m going to use a Size 6 ring Band. The Smallest size ring you can use on a RathBurn stretcher is a size 6.
First, place your ring over the slotted mandrel then slide the mini narrow mandrel inside, then take the slotted mandrel on top of the Nylon die to help suppress the blow.
You can use a mallet or hammer, and now start pounding over the pin.
**Its important after every couple of hits to check your progress using your ring sizing mandrel so you don’t go over your desired size.
Note, avoid using soldered rings because if the ring was not soldered properly it could split in half, also, try avoiding jeweled rings, you don't want the diamonds or gems to pop-out.
A trick to remove the stick you can use your mandrel to poke the bottom like this. If that doesn’t work, you can also hit the bottom of the mandrel with your hammer.
You want to make sure to use soft metals such as silver, gold or copper, rather than a hard metal like titanium because titanium wont stretch.
After watching this video, you still have questions please feel free to contact us, thank you for watching!
