Switching tubes/stopples between polishing & cutting - 7/9/2007 10:42:09 PM    Bottleman Posts: 851 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline I was wondering how necessary it is to use different tubes and different stopples when switching from cutting oxides and polishing oxides. I use different copper but I use the same stopples and tubes. Will it make a difference in how clear the polished bottle comes out or not. I am planning on buying some more tubes and stopples at an upcoming bottle show just for polishing purposes but I was wondering if this was necessary. ~~Tom    Post #: 1

I have tumbled a lot of bottles using this method. Stinger (in reply to Bottleman) Post #: 2
