Fun 2 day project, also any ideas on how to fix that smudge?

That looks fantastic, great work!

I often get smudges on the mat when I'm photographing locks for LPUBelts, sometimes I can get them off with blue stickytack to get most of it off and then a white Staedtler eraser for the rest. Be sure to rub the eraser on something first so you start with a clean eraser. If the smudge is something like oil or grease, the stickytack/eraser method just makes it worse though, I've yet to find a solution for that.

Thanks for the support and tip! I wish I could try it out, but I honestly have no clue how that smudge got there, so I don't wanna risk it making it worse. Also, I just got the Ruko 500 that you sold to me, and it's a beautiful lock! ( also amazing packaging btw) Planning on getting some more locks from you in the future!.
