Been tumbling for about 3 years, mainly agates. I finish everything in a lot-o. I use small LSA’s for finishing instead of ceramics. My problem is glass. My wife seen women on Facebook looking for a rock tumbler. I had a few extra tumblers, told my wife to give her one. She was looking for someone to polish a broken blue glass plate. I rough tumbled the pieces and finished in the lot-o. I can’t for the life of me get them to shine. Used ceramics in the lot-o to no avail. Tried it with small flat marbles with no luck. Finishing with tpx, never had a problem with agates, glass is killing me

Thank you, I’ll read them. Just to add I’ve been following RTH for a couple of years and know he’s the expert!
