Product Description
Stone Tumbling Starter Kit with Barrel
This kit is ideal if you already have a 3lb tumbler base, but would like to branch out into stone tumbling.
Kit includes:
- 3lb Barrel
- 80 Grit (Coarse)- approx. 100g
- 400 Grit (Fine) - approx. 100g
- Zinc Oxide Polish- approx. 50g
- Instruction Booklet
For best results:
- Make sure your barrel and end caps are completely clean - they should be totally free from grit and rock fragments to prevent leaks. It’s advisable to have a separate barrel per grit, as a few granules of a coarse grit in a fine grit tumbling stage could prevent your stones getting smoother, and could cause odd scratches.
- Use at least 25% small particles while tumbling stones, whether it’s smaller stones or tumbling media - this prevents larger stones being thrown around and getting bruised.
- Use rocks together which are around the same hardness.
- After tumbling, pour contents into a sieve or colander over a plastic bucket, and rinse off every speck of grit and mud. Do NOT pour the mud and grit down your household drain, as it can clog pipes.
Size of barrel: 14cm L x 10.3cm inner diameter, 12cm outer diameter
