Doing final polish. Added 1.5 cups sugar to 14 pounds of agates and glass filler. 35% glass filler to protect some larger rounder tumbles in the batch, small agates for filler in short supply presently. Added sugar to drained wet rocks and glass while starting vibe on and off to mix. Added water till slurry started to allow rocks to rattle slightly. About 3 ounces. Then added a 1/4 cup of sugar to adjust to thicker to stop rattling. Also speeded up vibe to about as fast as it would go before the rocks started rattling in a thick slurry. Rocks rolling fast and getting a good workout.

That thing really rolls a load, I can see how it works so fast. Others have said that the Lot-O rolls em even faster. I adjusted it faster. It is set on 1.1 out of 5. Max for 14 pound hopper is 1.6. Tried 2.3 on some junk and it sure bruised the rocks. Lower setting safe and plenty fast. I added a little glass filler the other day starting a polish. Accidentally picked up the 'dirty' glass that had not been washed. It had SiC 220 in it. Ooops Rerun required.

We are currently in Deming New Mexico at the Rockhound State Park. Found a few nice pieces, on I think is some kind of Opal. Great place, would like to see the Ibex goats that live over the mountain at Spring Canyon State Park. Gotta leave today tho and go to Roswell NM. Might find JamesP relatives there. LOL

Lastly, I hope it wasn't me that made you mad! orrum just said my relatives are Ibex goats. Bill is out to get me ! My wife says I'm an old goat. i would rather be a sissy than a goat. Ibex goats-bad to the bone

You gotta watch that orrum dude, typical suthenah, although jamesp, I think you sometimes read things in that aren't there?
I believe he said he wanted to SEE the goats, not that your family is a bunch of. What your wife has to say about you, that's another matter entirely.
Bill said he might find some of your relatives in Roswell. Ya know? Aliens?
