I probably know the answer to this, but I need to ask anyway ..
What tumbler are you using? Rotary? How Big?
As always

I'm using the Thumbler 12-15 lb rotary.
I did take out a few pieces this AM was kind of heavy.
I just loaded this batch up this am.
I had another glass tumble going of recycled bottles.

120 Grit pack finished 06/25/10 My belt was slipping so I installed a new one. Its nice to have spare parts on hand. I gave this batch 9 days of Tumble roughly. Now doing the 500 Grit pack which I will show when completed in a few days.     I added picture of one the Pasta eating Rabbits. The rabbits show up every morning and evening. If I say where is the kids they come running out of lots in the neighborhood. Some will take carrots cookies right out of my hand. They run when they hear cookies. I think they like all the rocks around the gardens of yard. I tried rabbit food they wouldn't eat it. My cats loved to eat rabbits now I feel they came back as a rabbit. Have A Great Day, Cliff |

Haha Cliff, you're lucky that your cats didn't come back as alligators, LOL. That is a beautiful, colorful batch of stones there. Jo

I tell the rabbits to watch out for the cats. Also to look out for the Hawks and Owl's.
