I think I need a refresher on vibe tumbling ... oye
First I get the awesome rolling and now it has slowed down a bit. I will recharge later today and might remove some of the glass pieces.
I am wondering if I have too much in the bowl. I do not have a great deal of slurry, so I do not think it is too wet. But you never know.
I will check it and maybe I will do what I did when I first started using a vibe couple of years ago. I will try to take a vid and let you experts tell me.
Have a great day!

Here is the vid for the vibe. Before the day is up, I will rinse and re charge the bowl again and maybe remove some of the glass. I am wondering if I truly over packed the bowl. Let me know what you think.

This batch speeds up just a smidge, then slows down a LOT.

I found with mine...which is a Lot-O not the UV, that weight had a bigger effect on speed than volume. I ended up having to take a bit of the fill out as well. Also, you're looking kind of dry and might want to add a little water by giving it a few squirts from a spray bottle. Soap also tended to slow me down in earlier stages. I work with soap flakes (Zote). One or two flakes is good for me. Hope this helps!

I agree that it looks way too dry.
Plastic pellets don't work well in vibes and in this case I believe they are cushioning way too much which is probably why you're not getting much of a slurry. You DO want very small pieces in the load when doing a load with this many slabs and cabs but you'd do better with something other then plastic pellets.
Randy is the expert with the UV's so maybe a PM wouldn't hurt? Show him the video as it's a VERY good example for him to help you with.

Hey Con and Stones Again!!
Thanks for the input again. I love input.
Am just finishing off rinsing out the entire batch and going to add nothing but small(er) rough for cushion. Funny thing is that some of the rough I will add will probably come out awesome as well.
I have gotten to the point where I really dislike working with plastic. It is a pain!!!!
I think the vids are a great help so others can truly see what I am going through.
Even after bit over 3 years, the vibe still has me a bit baffled. I just need to be patient and try out everything and anything all suggests.
Thanks Guys and As Always!

I'm sure you'll do well with the vibe.It just takes time to learn it and to develop your own way of using it.
Good Luck,,,
