Not wanting to offend any purists, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using a rock tumbler for bottles... I found one advertised that mentioned "This tumbler works very well and is the prefered tumbler for polishing dug antique bottles! 3 different size barrels are available for your needs." It's a 35lb. capacity rock tumbler, with a 3.4 amp, 120 volt motor, and ball bearing, rubber coated rollers.
What would be the major drawbacks; too big? too fast? (or too slow, I'm clueless), etc... Assuming I could make the stopples which someone here generously provided info on how to make, and then ordered the cleaning compounds from Lowery, is this a viable alternative?
Thanks for any help.
