    First Two Tumbling Results

    If your tumbler is revolving at 60 rpm all you ever need to do is 1200 for 5 days turning the tube every day.I NEVER open it period. Trust me it works.

    What's the best ketchup bottles

    Look in ebay for ketchup bottles. There is a early Heinz ketchup that is an eye popper. Gorgeous, has a shape similar to liquor bottles. I would call it the Holy Grail of ketchup

    plastic bead tumbling

    I've tumbled many bottles with copper but have never used beads. I have an early utility o.p. that I want to clean. I've got beads coming for rock tumbling and want to try them as I'm not sure the bottle could take the copper's weight. Have any of you used them? Appreciate any and all insight...
