The problem with dull scissors is quite common. Usually, people just throw them away and buy new ones. But you can not spend money, but just sharpen the scissors and continue to use them further. Moreover, for this we do not have to use any special tools and call the wizard at home. Yes, and buying new scissors, you can always run into a Chinese fake.
Before you start sharpening, consider the following, the easiest to sharpen office and hairdressing scissors, a little more complicated than scissors from a manicure set. But the most important thing is to first make sure that the problem is in the cutting edge. Sometimes the connecting bolt is to blame for the poor work, just try to tighten it. If the problem persists, it means that sharpening is still necessary.
So, let's get down to business. For work, we need a regular whetstone or a donkey. It can be purchased at any hardware store. Usually, it has a double structure, one half is coarse-grained, the other is fine-grained.
Before sharpening, it is best to disassemble the scissors. To start, you need to make a rough sharpening. To do this, moisten the stone a little and slide it along the blade of the scissors with simple sliding movements. Be sure to make movements with the donkey from yourself and along the factory edge of the blade.
After a short time working with the rough side of the grindstone, you can start using the fine-grained canvas. Perform all the same actions as in the first case.
For sharpening scissors from a manicure set, it is best to use a small bar with a fine-grained structure.
In addition to this method, there are other simple methods that are often used by home masters. Here are some of them:
- Using sandpaper, just fold it in two to three layers and cut into strips. A few cut sheets will provide you with a very good sharpening;
- Using food foil, the sharpening method is the same as with sandpaper. Only the layer thickness of the folded foil should be significantly larger;
- Using a sewing needle, try cutting the needle for several minutes, this will slightly sharpen the dull manicure scissors.
The presented methods will allow you to produce a fairly good sharpening of scissors. Do not rush to throw them away, they can serve you for a very long time.
