Showing you how I tumble rocks to get that beautiful shine. I explain each step and give any tips that I have learned (thru much trial and error) to help my fellow rock hounds get good results. Any questions you have, please comment below and I will help as best as I can.😎🐾
I use two Lortone 33b tumblers.
Each barrel is designated for each stage 1-4. I even have another barrel for burnishing for a total of 5 barrels.
I use Lortone grit. 3 Tbsp for the first 3 stages, 4 Tbsp for polish. Plus, 1 Tbsp of Borax in the fine and polish stages.
For burnishing I use 1 1/2 Tbsp of Borax for 1-2hrs.
My filler media is ceramic and/or plastic beads from Polly Plastics.
*UPDATE*
If you want a more in-depth example... I now how a video that shows exactly how I do the process... step-by-step... from start to finish. You can find that video by clicking this link: https://youtu.be/A5rbzqhSNE0
or by going to my channel videos directly and find the video "How to Tumble Rocks from start to finish". Happy Tumbling!
