I found this board while looking for Ivory soap flakes. A few years back I had an almost full box that I THREW AWAY when I had to move. Boy do I regret that now! In 2006 or so I fulfilled a lifetime dream and bought a Lortone 33B rotary tumbler as well as a couple of different types of rough. At a certain point during the Recession I was like, I just can't justify spending my money on grit, even though I had two different loads in process (agate and rose quartz). Packed all my tumbling stuff up in a couple banker's boxes and put it in storage, carrying them each time I moved. Just recently I unpacked the boxes, found enough notes to remember where I was in the process, ordered more grit and got things started again. Let's just say it's been a learning curve that sometimes makes me wonder why I care so much about making my own shiny rocks when I could just buy them online. After not finding Ivory flakes in the third store I went to, I hit google and ended up here. I've just started what should be the final tumble using borax (which I already had a box of) and can see that several of my other questions are addressed in the forums as well.

Hello and welcome, it's amazing how many people find this place on accident and end up staying?
