Tumbling different colored bottles - 1/26/2012 12:36:07 PM    Diggin4Togas   Posts: 110 Joined: 1/25/2011 From: not far from Saratoga Springs,N.Y. Status: offline I have no problem tumbling most bottles and having good results, but when I try a light aqua or a clear bottle it comes out milky looking. Amber, cobalt, emerald green, and olive all come out good. Any solution to the problem would be appreciated. I do not tumble as a business, just for my collection. Thanks in advance, Randy _____________________________ Looking for any Saratoga Springs, N.Y. bottles. If you have any and want to part with them leave me a message. Post #: 1
