Hey Steve,I've only just got my tumbler, I've been cleaning parts up by hand for over 25 years and had a buffing wheel for the last two. As the wheel is dirty to use and mess gets everywhere, I thought I'd try the tumbler after reading this thread.Some good advice from other members who are already using them.Is the ***elers rouge powder? Also, I read that the corn doesn't clean nickle over brass parts all that well, do you know if this is correct?Also what grade/course do you use for your drum parts? I've only used fine but didn't have any affect at all on the parts I did. I think/sure I'm using the wrong one.Thanks Steve.Dave
The forum software won't let me use the first three letters of that word.Think of a person that makes sells gold and diamonds,watches and pendants.The word starts with a J.
The J rouge is a fine polishing compound that comes in paste,stick or powdered form,in various grits.
I start with the red ,which is kind of a medium grit first,use it for a short amount of time.and see what happens.You can always go finer or coarser from that point,depending on the results.Cheers.
