Recipes for grit sequences in tumbling are as varied as cake recipes. Read the books on tumbling along with manufacturer's instructions and you will see just how many methods and types of grits are recommended for basically the same process. Fortunately, most will work.
The basic principle in polishing stone is to start with a coarse grit and work through a series of increasingly finer grits to the final polish. Some stones can be polished in three steps, most do better with four or five and some will never polish at all.
The company has developed kits for use with vibratory tumblers using both the all wet process and the wet-dry that uses water with the coarser grits and vibra-dry compounds for the final steps.
Rotary tumblers usually require more grit per pound of rock, so buying in larger quantities is more economical. The 60/90 through 600 grits of silicon carbide is the standard sequence, to be followed by one of the various polishes.
These kits are designed to polish a variety of stones, both hard and soft. Basic tumbling instructions are included with each kit.
The KIT-W1 and KIT-D1 kits contain enough abrasives to do one or more loads in the smaller tumblers with 4 or 8 pound barrels.
The KIT-W2 and KIT-D2 kits contain abrasives for one or more loads in the 8 and 10 pound capacity tumblers.
You will probably have some pre-polish and polish left over to use with your next load. The Vibra-Dry materials in the Wet-Dry kits are reusable.
The Plastic pellets included with some of the kits are used as a filler and carrier to increase the tumbling efficiency of the load. They are reusable.
