To get the best out of Magnetic Tumblers is, the pins should slide
along the pieces to be polished and the pins should not go hit the
pieces. To achieve this action, the solution used should be as thick
as possible.
I soak four or five soap nuts in a liter of water for an hour then
boil the solution for 20 minutes to make the solution thick, remove
the nuts, add burnishing solution in the ratio of 30 ml for a litre
of water. Run the machine for 15 to 20 miutes. I have been getting
remarkable results. My experience is only with gold. Timing is very
important. Don’t over run. thank you,
What are soap nuts? I would like to be able to use a magnetic
tumbler that doesn’t texture the metal. But using a thick solution in
the mix sounds like the solution.
