This bottle has been tumbling in a 5 inch canister for 4 days with 220 SC and beads. Rotated after 2 days.
It is nicely frosted EXCEPT towards the bottom of the bottle. Is this caused by the four-finger stopple being used?
The same has happened to rectangular bottles in a 4" canister; those I was able to correct by putting into the canister upside down, held in place with a flat-cut rubber cone stopple.
Is this caused by the four-finger stopple? (I like them simply because they can balance most any bottle)
If so, what stopple would work best?
It also seems that the deeper a bottles fits within the stopple's fingers, the harder it is to cut/polish the lower edges....which makes sense as the fingers somewhat block or divert the flow of tumbling media. How should a bottle ideally "fit" within the stopple fingers?
Appreciate the help!
