spacecases

[danker]

I've had a knockoff spacecase for awhile, and i was recently thinking...would little bits of aluminum mix in? i havent noticed anything, but still, i wouldnt want that. it was 20$, its like the 85$ real one.

You could use masking tape to protect any polished finish on the case and then take some med/course steel wool to the threads, working it down to medium fine steel wool. This will certainly take off anything that'd be willing to come off eventually. DON'T use any kind of sandpaper for the obvious reason of causing particulate debris. This won't affect the performance of the case either as you'd be taking off a miniscule amount of aluminum, more like polishing it really.

Please clarify something for me, are we talking about metal grinders in general, or the ones with metal screens in them intended to be keif catchers?

I understand you wish to compare a knock off to a Space Case one, but I am not sure of which exact product your trying to compare.

I have a plastic grinder that does the same thing as a spacecase. I have thought about the plastic comeing off in the kief or the weed. I've never noticed any wear though. I'd imagine that aluminum would be more durable. It is probably fine. I would say use a magnet to take out the metal but aluminum isn't magnetic.

YES metal shavings do start to come off after eventual wear, especially around the little holes the weed has to fall through. In order to help prevent this many big name grinder manufacturers are beginning to annodize their grinders which changes the chemical composition of the metal and makes it MUCH STRONGER as well as looks better. thats about all we can do right now though..
