Run them a week in plastic pellets for each step Then do a 24 hour burnish in borax laundry soap Wash between steps

Howdy from South Texas clean your barrel really well, don't be scared to use filler like plastic beads or ceramic media because you want the stones to rub together not rattle around. also the advice i have seen on here is don't stop at the stage 4 (1,200) that came with your tumbler, carry on to a true polish like 12,000
