This is as thick as I can get the slurry and not stop movement but allowing material to scrub against each other without bouncing and rattling against each other.
Material is glass and easy to frost damage, especially during this final polish step.
8 pound capacity with 12 tablespoons of sugar and water added to a syrup. Using 1 tablespoon of Rock Shed AO 14,000 polish.
Earlier steps were run with only 10 tablespoons of sugar since coarser abrasive makes slurry quickly.
I modified my vibe to make short vibrations similar to ultrasonic machinery, also making slow movement and reducing bouncing and rattling.
Pretty sure this thick slurry/short vibration technology is the key to tumble polishing soft rocks.
After 8 hours and already a tight polish. Glass normally slow to polish. I attribute the fast polishing speed to the sticky slurry. Frost free too.
Oh heck, yeah, those are yummy!
Thanks Robin. First batch in a long time. Most of this batch from hand blown vases and good solid bubble free glass.
