I would think lepo would be way to soft to tumble I've cab some lepido and had varying amounts of success I like the stuff ! don't have much experience at tumbling but vibing lepidio would be better choice I would think hopefully will hear from others who know much more than me
good luck Ed

Might get some more attention if you posted this in the tumbling forum.
I've cabbed it to a poor shine. Tumbling, I'd suspect, would be much like the other softies. Lots of little pieces for padding, slower speeds, short runs, and lots 'n lots of plastic pellets in the polish. Might work, might not; I suspect that it would have to be finished off by polishing on a wheel.
