BTW for vibs, reading on the other threads, it appears that borax is needed in some steps? If I were to follow the AO 60 + AO 14,000 recipe, should I put borax in all the steps and also how much AO + water should I use? Thanks!

BTW for vibs, reading on the other threads, it appears that borax is needed in some steps? If I were to follow the AO 60 + AO 14,000 recipe, should I put borax in all the steps and also how much AO + water should I use? Thanks! Answering my own question after research and posting this for the posterity. Big thanks to everyone who provided insightful info in the past! Prep ----- 1. Cut or grind your stones accordingly using dremel or angular grinder with diamond coated bits 2. Be sure to wear proper clothing and protection for eyes and wear protective mask First Stage ------------ 1. Wet the rocks 2. Use 2 tsp AO 60 + 2 tsp borax + 3 tsp H20 for 4.5lb Lot-O tumble 3 to 5 days. 3. Add ceramic fillers to keep the Lot-O at the right capacity (3/4 full?) 4. Every 12 hours add 1.5 tsp H2O or 3 tsp H2O every day. Second Stage --------------- 1. Clean out or use the second barrel 2. Remove any stones that have undesired shapes (need more touch up with dremel and repeat 1st stage later) 3. Use 2 tsp AO 14,000 + 2 tsbp borax + 3 tsp H2O for 2 days. 4. Add ceramic filers same as in 1st stage 5. Add H2O same as in 1st stage
