Hoowdy folks ... After a loooong layover I have our tumblers rolling again. I started a batch of petoskey stone and I'm now wondering what polish I should use.They are coming out of 1000 prepolish today , this is the first batch of these i have done. I have CO, TO and AO hopefully one of these will work ;D
Thanks Wolf

I would use TO in a rotery and AO in a vibe. I have had good results using both with hand polishing. I have never been sucessful tumbling Petosky. Looking forward to seeing pics of your results. Good luck, Daniel

It is a soft limestone replacement of coral so good luck. TO or a good sub-micron AO.
