I recently visited my cousin in California and brought some of my tumbled stones to give him. During my visit we did a little rock hounding and he got very interested in making some tumbles of his own. This morning he called me to let me know that he has purchased a Thumbler Model B 15 lb tumbler and five pounds of 60-90 grit and wanted to know how to charge the barrel.
How much grit do you all typically charge in your Model B's?
My only experience is with my little 3lb HF and when I calculate what to charge based on that the grit charge seems too low.
Thanks

I use about a cup and a quarter for the first time with a third cup of kitty litter and then in a few days add another cup, and then if the slurry isn't too thick I'll add another3/4 cup. I hope that makes sense.
I use a high speed model B.
