Tumbler & mystery grit questions
I purchased a used Lortone double barrel model 33B tumbler today from a guy off Craigslist for $30 to tumble my clad coins.
The guy also gave me two shopping bags full (about 25+ one lb. jars) of very fine glass bead 50 micron abrasive you see pictured.
I have no idea what this is, but I'm assuming it's for a final polishing on rocks.
I also have no clue what I'm going to do with all of it.
Is it worth much?
It may not be worth selling & shipping for all I know.
Could I use this stuff to clean clad and metal relics since it is so fine?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
MM
