I have decided to buy a vibrating tumbler to polish my cabs. I will grind them through the 280 wheel. At this stage is when I usually fill in any pits with CA glue. My question is what will happen to the CA when they go into the tumbler? Will it dissolve? Undercut? Whatever happens, would the results be the same if I used an epoxy instead of CA. If these things don’t work, how would you deal with pits in you cabs? Any help appreciated. BTW I am new to the site and this is my first post.

My instinct is that your best bet on removing all surface remnants of the ca would be with a cab machine. My attempts at filling cracks or pits have worked only when I worked diligently through all of the wheels. I know that I stub with superglue which often leaves a ring of glue on the back of a cab and unless I remove it with the 220 or 280, that ring will persist through the entire vibe tumbling process. So . . . yes polish with the vibe but don't count on it obliterating your work at filling pits. And welcome. Its a good idea but not likely to work.

Stub with super Glue ? Did you mean (DOP) ?
Super Glue can easily be removed with a Box Knife from the back of a Cab !
CAREFULLY !

Yes I dop with super glue, but I dop on wooden blocks which I call stubs. Scaping works but removing all traces of the glue with a knife is tedious
A few seconds on the 280 or 600 does it for me.
