Bought a vibrator Options

Does a good job cleaning up the parts but leaves a residue. I bought some kitty liter and home that will work to clean it up and give it a final polish. It’s loud but I found a place in back of the building so it’s not so annoying.

So the kitty litter was ok but not really and made sort of a mess. I took 76-914 advice and purchased steel shop off ebay (cheaper than amazon) 10lbs for $18 shipped. I didn't use stainless because I was using ferrous metal anyway. Stainless is good when you don't want to leave residue that can rust. So far the results look great. A couple bonuses with the steel shot; The tumbler runs much much quieter. It works quickly, I could see results in 15-20 minutes, not hours. It doesn't leave any mess. It last WAY longer than other media, like 1000x longer. The only downside is the steel shot is so much denser that 10lbs isn't enough to cover the pieces. I had to order another 10lb bag and wait until Tuesday for delivery.

Here's a pic of the first batch I sent to get plated.

I'll pass the compliment onto my sister in law. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) BTW, those look great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
