[Favorite tips] Cheap Substitute for Rouge

If you are getting sick of having to clean up after using Rouge to
tumble with; you might want to try Baking Soda with a clean media
such as Walnut Shell. In my setup, I have replaced the Walnut shell
with small plastic media. I have been using this combination for a
couple of weeks now, ever since I satarted asking about “Batch Removal
of Tarnish”, which this combination does nicely as well. In a rotory
tumbler the cleaning process takes 2 hours, in a vibe tumbler it takes
about 1/2 hour. Parts go in “dirty” and come out clean and polished.
Clean up is quite a bit easier than Rouge.
