I agree with tkvancil- the soap is unnecessary for any step. Of course lapidaries are no different from hair dressers or engine builders- everyone thinks their way of doing things is the ONLY way, and anyone disagreeing is a Philistine.

What happens if there is bleach? I wonder if it might react with some polishes like it does with ammonia, chlorine gas ain't good. Also it is possible to bleach some rocks, folks do it to bring out grain in petwood. EDIT: oh, yeah, chlorine is really bad for rubber tumbler barrels or liners.

On your posts you will see an edit button between the quote and thumbs up button at the top right of your post. Click on it to redo. EDIT: The "edit" in caps is my addition, but edited posts are identified as edited at the bottom.

I'm with the 20 Mule Team Borax bunch. All stages, and a rinse between stages to remove any grit that may be hiding. Then after the polish stage at least an hour in Borax & water as an added burnishing stage.
