Hi Warren, thanks for the reply. I do run for about 5-6 days when I use the 1500. Normally no other polishing is needed, but I only do this with minor sickness. With anything worse I start with 1200 and see how it looks after 2-3 days. If still showing signs of sickness I then go to 1500 and...

Just took beer bottle out after 3 days in glass beads w/ alum. oxide. Came out perfect. Here are some pics. Wish I had some with the haze, then you could see the huge difference. Thanks to everyone for the help. I have some new ideas now.

Hi chosi and thanks for the info. Good to know I'm not alone in my dilemma. I'm going to try the 1 day 1200 thing. Would surely speed the process along. Lots of bottles and so little time. Try the 1500 grit on light sickness. It will clean and polish in about 5 days. Not much time savings in the...

As I stated above, I do clean my copper on a somewhat regular basis, but this is definitely worth a try. Thanks.

Thanks Andy. I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I only tumble for the family and a few close friends, so I'm not doing the $$$ bottles. The soft glass theory is about the only thing that makes a lot of sense. I had 1 beer bottle and a few drug store bottles that just wouldn't polish...

Thanks Joethecrow. My copper is not new by any means but it is clean. I rinse thoroughly after each tumbling and clean with Dawn dish soap every so often. What has me so perplexed is that it's not every bottle. I tumble 4 to 5 at a time and maybe 1 will come out hazy. Thanks again. Next time...

Hello Everyone. Hoping someone can help me. I have been tumbling bottles for about 2 years now with very good results. On very sick bottles I start with 1200 grit silicon carbide for 3 days then clean and tumble again with aluminum oxide for another 3 days. With not to sick a bottle I start with...
