Should material be uniform in size? Thanks J. Don

*waves to Don*

Your post was buried and easily lost! Sorry I missed it! Welcome to the forum! Honestly, you'll find these are the best group of folks in the world!

(Don is one of my collecting buddies I met at Ivey Farm)

I use "The Rock Shed" for all my tumbling supplies. They're terrific and very helpful. rockshed.com
