Is anyone using this stuff? Was thinking of trying it as the Alum. Oxide I now use is leaving residue in every crevice that is hard to remove.

Was having the same issue until I started running a burnishing stage with just borax. Run it for a hour or so then add water to thin everything and run another 10 min or so before dumping. Now I get very little residue and what there is comes out easily with water flush and a toothbrush (just don’t let the stones dry out before you check them).

All borax does is break surface tension. It makes the water wetter.

Therefore it helps clean the cracks and voids.

Nope, they come out just fine. Shiny as I could want. I think the borax helps take that last thin film of polish off the stones that might dry to a haze otherwise.

I have also tried washing soda, baking soda and TSP. All seem to work for burnishing, but baking soda sometimes creates gas that needs to be burped from the tumbler (if burnishing for a number of hours). TSP might be overkill, especially when compared to Ivory soap or Borax. It might be interesting to mix some of these ingredients.

I use Tide detergent for burnishig but did find soft stone polish dulled with burnishing. The Vibra Dry works very well and is a reusable product so cost decreases with use.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
