I wanted to see what the Lot-o would do with a load of larger slabs. Some of these I had to sqeeze the barrel to stuff 'em in. Had a lot in there. These are India Blackskin agates. Thanks for looking snuffy

Instead of a drool warning...you should post a sunglasses warning!!! That first picture makes my eyes hurt! What a shine! At least the second one was in the shade!
So how big are the slabs in how small of a tumbler?

Which tumbler were you doing these in?
You must've been one of those kids who didn't "color within the lines" ;D

I charged once with 60/90 and ran for 2 weeks in a qt12 Lortone. Then 1 charge 500 for three days in the Lot-o vibe, and 1 charge ao polish,3 days. I put a tbsp of each,more than the directions call for,in the lot-o. The lot-o holds about 4 1/2 lbs of material.

I had the same though, Jack. They look an awful lot like Montanas.
