Has anyone out there but a black piece of glass with tape on one side into a rock tumbler with very very fine polish ?

Just wonder if this has been covered
 
I'm thinking you could follow that up with a toothbrush and pepsodent... or some other "semi-abrasive" toothpaste. That would be finer then 1500 aluminum oxide.

Just a thought I had the other day.
 
I Was thinking baking soda too
I just pulled a test piece (plastic flashlight cover) from the tumbler with ss bb's and Beach sand(2 hour tumble)

Promptly made a smooth etch on it(not usable) but even

I’m thinking the aggregate (ss bb's in my case) should be a soft polymer, air soft bb's hmm..
cant have to much water as the bb's may float

testing again

I haven't heard anything about the diamond powder, but people have gotten good results grinding (by hand) with Aluminum Oxide at 3 microns.
 
Aw... to make the GG... i see ;)

At first I thought someone was creating a DIY "Vibrating GG" using Rock Tumbler parts/motor. heh.

(or have they???)


cheers,
