Cutting the perfect border on your polymer pistol 

I create safety borders around the entire stippled area using foil tape. this keeps all my lines perfectly straight and also protects the gun in the event that I make a mistake and get outside of the intended area. The foil tape that I use is the foil tape that HVAC installers use when installing 14 inch ducting in the ceiling or wherever the ducting might be...it's super sticky so it won't ever come off unintentionally which is important for this type of work because other types of tape either don't stick well enough due to the porous surface which is a lot of the time also slightly oily from hand oils or gun lubes which makes it hard to stick to. It takes some work to tape the entire gun but I think of it like prep work when painting a house which also takes time upfront but allows you to move quicker and more accurately once you get going. And it's really great for cutting shapes if you have any hard to reach areas you want to stipple.

Awesome video..... that was confusing as hell when you kept calling that a micrometer...... thank god you showed the tool! It’s a Marathon Micromotor!

Appreciate the detailed step-by-step recommendations. Glad I found your videos.

Thanks for the pro tips! Keep up the good work and stay safe. God bless brother

I tattoo for a living and pulling towards yourself helps you pull long straight lines.

Great video. Thank you. It's funny because I thought I was special lol. I haven't learned how to do recessed borders yet so I've been using that exact same tip to burn my borders. And up until now, I've never seen or heard anybody say they burn their borders in. But now I learned how to use that same method with the recessed border. I think that's awesome that it creates a barrier between your stipple and border. Thanks again and sup Damer lol

Thank you for making these videos!!! I’m listening/watching

Thank you for posting brother I appreciate it. It’s awesome to see the difference between other guys in the biz.

Awesome videos brother, I just binged watched a good handful of your videos and its given me confidence to try this out. Hope everything is well on your side of life, keep up the excellent content, advice and tips on stippling and frame work. 💯🙌🏽🍻

Just learning to stipple. Your channel is awesome and has helped me a lot. Keep up the awesome content 🤘🏼

Thanks for video! Very informative

You ARE appreciated my man!!

Great video Brad !!

Brad brother thank you soo much for sharing your tips and tricks that you use on the these frames. I’ve started to get into stippling for just myself and friends at the gun club. I’ve done Gunsmithing and Cerakoting for a while now to make some extra cash around the house after my wife passed away a couple years back. Your tips and tricks will help me so very much and I can’t thank you enough. I know you’re a busy guy but I was wondering if I ever ran into a problem and needed some advice , would it be okay to message you? If not I totally understand and bro you’ve done a lot already with the videos you’ve already posted. Anyway bro you be safe out there and god bless my brother!

This is a cool method. Still can’t quite bring myself to actually stipple any of my guns so I’m still practicing on boxes and cases lol, but this looks like a cool method to try out for sure.

a true professional!

Nice. I’ve done about a dozen for myself and friends but I’m still not confident. I have two more personal pieces I need to do. Thanks for the study opportunity.

Post more boss man!

Brother you make this look easy- this is soooo hard to do - talented people always make it look easy- I’ve destroyed 4 frames trying to do this , I should have just sent you the frame and pay for the design lol 😂

Hey sir really complete and informative videos, I thank you very much for sharing your work. I’m just starting to practice on pieces of plastic. If you show me that I be so thankful. I like to see the beginning pencil lines and the strart whit the dremel 953. I’m Colombian and live in Argentina so if I brake my frame I won’t be able to buy another. They don’t sell frames here. So thanks a lot and greetings from the south.

Awesome tips!! Thanks bro!! Curious when you're done stippling is there a process of burning the stippling?

Great info. man. Could you show some frame repair techniques to?

Hey brother great video! When you get the chance can you make a video doing gap borders or HD borders, thanks I appreciate it 🙏🏼

Hello, first off great vid… quick question, about how long should stippling last? I see everyone taking about doing it but not really mentioning how long it will last. Does it start losing its pattern after handling for a long time. I’m getting ready to do my EDC and wanted to get an idea before getting it done. Thank you

Great job buddy 👍👍👍👍👍

Good stuff

So, I have decided that I would like to stipple my Shield 9, which is pretty slick. I have watched a couple of your videos so far and, first of all, thanks for the good content, well presented and good clear video. I think I can do a good basic job or this with a little practice, but I am wondering: In your experienced opinion, can a person ruin the integrity of the frame by stippling too aggressively? I mean, the polymer is made a certain thickness for a reason, and it seems like the stippling might affect that strength. But, stippling is pretty common, so....

I got an old school Dremel set like your black one that goes to 30,000 that should work well right?!? Just gotta get few different tips and pick a color scheme about to order my side. Either FDE and black, Tungsten black and grey, or burnt bronze/copper and black. Any suggestions on color scheme that you think would be cool or people like best?

Ive been looking at trying to find the rotor tool you use and I haven't been able to find it.. Is there a name for it that I can look it up under? I've only found the 35k rpm motor one..

I would like to know tip you used for the stipple pattern on this pistol

Tools List ?

Have you ever used those flexcut carving tools? You have a great method works and looks great, but I really think you would like those bad boys

The burr shape you asked about is called a tree. The one you have is called a “pointed tree”.

I would love to have some of your work my strike frame! How do we get in touch with you? Do you have a website?

Do you have a method to clean the diamond tips when they start getting polymer caked into them?

Sir could you please show us how to burn in your borders

Question, why is a flex shaft a must ?

Great Video what is the tool you use for the grinding and finger cuts ?

Hey brother, can you check out the problem with my PF940C i posted? I'm not sure if its a faulty locking block or barrel issue

Hello I really like your videos. I have question about cutting boarders. Do you ever use like a v or carving tool like Micro Flex but Flexcut to start your board?

Did you ever figure out what the “egg bit” is called or a dremel part number ?

Do you actually cut the initial lines with the 953? If so do you lay it flat or straight down?

If one were to go through the frame and make a hole, how do you fill it in?

Thank you for your experience on this ! What brand grinder do you use ? Thanks- Mark

So I’ve got a question for you not sure if you can help me .. when I dry fire my battery goes back smoothly but when i put bullets in magazine sometimes it goes back into battery and sometimes it doesn’t why is that ? I’ve never fired it at all .. do I need to keep smoothing my rails out plus my plunger as well ? I’ve already have smooth it out but maybe I need to do it more ..thanks so much in advance

Any chance you can help me. I have looked everyone and asked everyone for help with no luck. I just did my first P80 build and my issues is when I take off the slide and put it back on it will go 95 percent on then get stuck. I have to then pull the trigger forward while pushing the slide back for it to go on. I think it’s getting hung up on the safety plunger and I don’t know what to do

Where would I find the dremel tips you use?

There's tons of videos on how to do this on glock pistols and nothing else

Hey bro, just wanted to say thanks fro your vids. I was finally able to make a gun look good and not like a piece of shit lol

Did your micro motor come with a colet for 1/8 ?

Yo...p80Ralph's got the same intro.. just slowed down..

Man I'd like to get your info to ask a few questions

Hz meter says your dremel is only 16k hz... but that's ok

Un bambino avrebbe fatto di meglio

this looked really bad bruh

What a dirty job

what rotary tool do you use?
