I can't find any replacement bowls for the 18lb vib tumbler to do the polishing in (everything is sold out). Does anybody have any suggestions (other than buying another vib tumbler), maybe on how I can get this bowl as clean as possible?

katie whose tumbler is it? Thumler UV18 or another? We have 2 uv10 tumblers so we devote one to polish only, but when we had one we just cleaned thoroughly between grits. If we are tumbling anything that requires coarser than 220 grit we do that in a rotary.

I'll clean it out thoroughly. Thank you. It's a harbor freight CE18. Thumbler's is out of stock everywhere I look. Anyway, Before I spend more money on bowls or other tumblers, I would like to decide if rock tumbling really is for me. It may be a little too noisy for our house.

I have my vibe tumbler inside 2 tires on the floor what an amazing, quiet running machine LOL BEFORE I found that tip, it was like a loaded coal train coming through my living room
