 My load got sticky so I added water-too much water.Now I had soup so I called on my vast culinary skills and added cornstarch-walla,gravy!Methinks this might be useful to start the slurry going at first,probably in rotaries too. I'm guessing this has been done by others.Comments?Mike.

Mike,
An old friend of mine had a couple rock nuts for parents. They would cut the tips off of 2 books of paper matches and throw the (sticks ) into the barrel to start the slurry in a hurry so to speak. I would think that a small handful of confetti would have the same effect ?

Harley;yep.I always use a handful of sawdust or just torn newspaper to get the rough or 150/220 going in my rotaries.Mike.

Hi Mike
Joking apart if you add a tea spoon of soapflakes that should help. Or some have used soft sand.
I use Granulated wall paper glue for 2 reasons 1-- it only lasts 2 days 2--By that time the grit has got the grinding done enough to realease some mud which holds the grit on the rocks
Have a good day
