MINI Zippo Lighter Restoration

This Zippo Lighter restoration is probably the world’s smallest ever seen. The lighter was sent to me for repair, and I will make it very beautiful again with a 24-carat gold layer and some awesome custom engravings. Enjoy the video!

I got this very small and dirty Zippo Lighter sent to me from one of my subscribers. I think its very cute and I’m looking forward to seeing if the lighter actually works, or if it’s just a useless toy/advertising item.

THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I started disassembling the little lighter. It was quite hard because everything was so small and fragile, but I manage to separate the lighters outer and inner case. Then I removed the flint wheel and the flint spring.

I cleaned the outer case in my sandblaster using very fine glass beads, together with low air pressure. I also gave the outer case a quick grinding with 1000 grit sandpaper to be able to make it ultra mirror shiny when polishing it. Of course I used a tiny polishing machine to match the tiny Lighter size.
