What you really need Matt is one product that gives the right finish every time. Maybe this one will do all the jobs you have in mind. :lol: :lol: John |

Bogs, that a one step polish? Well I have enough stuff to get started. These are the scrap pieces for trial #1 I'm starting off with a deburring in the Rotary tumbler. This batch consists of 8 cups of 3/8" Course Ceramic Media 4 cups of water 1 oz of Simple Green 1 oz of Nu Finish All in a 1gal jug And on the rollers I haven't decided how long I'm going to let this first stage go. I'm going to check them in 3hours. Matt |

Ya its really tough to depict to results to you guys with the camara I got. I guess in the end, If you can see the camara in the reflection of the part, it was a success :beer: Any pointers on taking better pics? :worthless: |

This first test, I want to see how different shape/size parts work together. Some one say building a model engine, would only have 1 or 2 same shape part at a time, but would have a batch of parts of the same material. Before After 3hours in first mixture. I'm happy with the results. Saw burrs are gone, corners are intact, and the have a very nice gun metal finish Now for the second mixture I'll use the same amount of media, but a medium ceramic only 2 cups of water this time 3 oz of the nu finish 1 oz of simple green I'm think 3 more hours Matt |
