Glass is a lot like tumbling quartz. I like powdered cerium oxide. It takes a lot of tumble time.

hello there just thought i would put my 2 cents worth in as well... i added some glass from the beach in my last batch and it turned out really well ... in this batch i used a raybrite polish and had good results... I've added a lot more glass to a batch that is now in the 3rd stage i will let you know how it turns out in about 10 days....HURK
