Tumbling out sickness...help please!

Oh Aaron.....your PM box is full!

Please don't think I am disrespecting your endeavor, but they looked better before you tumbled them. That's just my opinion though. I don't tumble bottles but maybe there are some books about it out there that could help.

Thank you for the words of encouragement!
Here is the 2nd bottle after another 10 hours, for 22 hours total in 220 SC.
The exterior looks done (to me); what do you think?

Just wait untill they are out of the polisher before making that declaration Suzanne!

I apologize.

Barbara, why don't you use copper? Or are you just experimenting with the glass beads to see the results that are possible to obtain without diving into the expense of buying copper?

I'm not chastising you, just wondering.

The politely asked question is appreciated Jim!
Mostly it's the mess (closely followed by the cost) of copper that I hate. So yes, in these trials with glass beads I'm hoping to have similar results as those using copper.

In previous threads there looked to be many using the beads...will you please share your techniques?!

Here is the Celery Compound after 3 days in Al polish. Not shiney enough yet, so it will go back in for a couple of days. The interior is still wet (so it looks good) but I expect it to need additional interior polishing after the exterior is done....

Barbara,
Are you in the business of tumbling out sickness? If so, i wanted to send a pic of a poison bottle ( not worth a ton of money but means alot to me). its a sick bottle, and as a teenage, I sprayed something on it to make it shiny( maybe some type of acrylic). I am going to get that off first and use a paint thinner. Let me know if you have a service and I'll send a pic.
