Hey there buzz, looks like maybe you could keep them in a little longer? Not sure if the oxide I gave you will help get rid of that haze but give it a try. I'd say at 48 rpms or so that your tumbler is running I'd say three days at least. I'm just a newbie too. Maybe someone else has a suggestion. Lookin' good so far.
hoping all goes well down your way. please tell hubby and son i said hello. i agree that it should have been in longer. i read the description on the 1000 grit in the JarDoc book and it scared me a bit. the more i experiment and keep at it, the better the stuff looks. thanx again for your help kiddo.
Buzz, I think you're confusing the oxide that I gave you with silicon carbide that jar doctor has listed. The aluminum oxide that I gave you is 1,000 grit but certainly won't damage anything. It would break down within a few days unlike the cutting oxides. Which cutter did you use on the medicine you have pictured? Did you just use the brasso?
hope all goes well with u and the crew. i ran it for two days in my usual mix and then for one with the polish. i've been soaking them in hydrogen peroxide for a few days after tumbling... seems to help a bit. i've got my only colored open pontil bottle in now. we'll see how it looks sunday night. thanx again. my friend enjoys the bottles he bought from you at Becahi.
Very nice display. I like the green squatty near the bottom and the very bright green bottle on the top shelf. You don't see those everyday. I'm glad your friend likes the bottles - our son is still mad I sold it. I also sold another one from Egypt, PA that I didn't realize was our one and only. Oh Well, there's always ebay, right.
It's ice fishing season now. Shovels go away for now.
