Mr. jamesp, Re shaped most of the glass pendants from you and to lessen the clean up I put them in a vibrasonic with some 500 AO for a couple days. That cleaned up the scratches on the sides and light frost on the tops. I put them in with polish for two days and now can't get them back to where they were. I am using polished Lakers for media a mohs 7 from 1/4 to 1/2 in. They kept their shine on. I re cleaned them just now. The vibra Sonic rolls fast maybe slow it down?

Yes Lot-O works great on glass but glass can be a real bugger to get a great shine on. I have had times that I have had to rerun the load a number of times. It is almost like it just gets stubborn. Take it back a step and give it another go. toiv0 I know the stuff you got from James had a great shine so it should get that way again but I have had some glass that will not take a 'brilliant' shine. It will have a 'nice' shine but if you look with a magnifying glass you will see micro bubbles. Glass is still fun to work with and great to look at when finished............................MrP

Lakers equal.agate really equals not with glass! Glass with at least one third ceramics. I use half ceramics.

Leave em in for a couple more days. Glass takes longer than agates. Agates can polish in 2 days. Obsidian and glass take 3-5days. Hope this helps in a pinch

What was the 'fix'.........................MrP The machine had broken spring, replaced them and straightened out the frame some. Doesn't really roll like I think it should but almost 2 days was incredible.
