Since I joined I've been reading, searching, and reading. I've been able to find an answer to everything I've wanted to know. I thank you all for sharing your expertise, I really do.
I'm wondering is there a rule of thumb that one can look for as to how/what a slurry should look like at any given stage? I'm sure there has to be a difference between a Rotor & a vibe slurry so I'm reaching out. I've read that a syrup/gravy slurry is about the best. Mine, in both type tumblers have looked almost like frosting at times, (I like to bake as another hobby), I see peaks at times but they dissipate rather quickly of course. I'm pretty sure the slurry should be thick but can anyone give another analogy/idea on how thick is to thick? I'll bake a cake for the right answer!! ;D

frosting is too thick. just thick enough to suspend grit w/o eliminating the abrasion that must occur

heavier grit needs thicker slurry. smaller grit needs thinner slurry. vibes only need damp, and not exactly slurry. you want grit in contact w/ rock and not mud. balancing act.
