I thought I did explain what I did in my first post when I said I only gave it 4 days in Aluminum Oxide when it really need Silicone Carbide. Anybody that Tumbles Bottles knows what this means. BUT, If you don't Tumble Bottles I'll explain a little. Silicone Carbide & Aluminum Oxide is Cleaning Agents or Powders you use to Tumble Bottles Clean. Sorry for any confusion or being to Vague.

I didn't see the part about the oxide polish. If I had seen that I could have tied the first part and the last part together. I was just too amazed at what the end result was. I know what tumbling is and I hope some others come up with some new process to give the guy that sells the equipment some competition. That's just an Old man diggers opinion!!!
