• Convenient Storage: Comes packaged in a sturdy acrylic storage pot, ensuring easy handling and preventing contamination when not in use.

Choosing the Right Media:

Selecting the appropriate polishing media is crucial for achieving desired results. The size and type of media should correspond to the material, overall size, and specific features of the items being polished, such as notches, prongs, and holes. For instance, the media should be small enough to pass freely through intricate spaces or large enough to avoid becoming lodged. Generally, larger media expedite the polishing process, while smaller media provide a finer finish.

Usage Recommendations:

• Preparation: Before initial use, clean the shot by tumbling it with water and a few drops of soap or barrelling compound for approximately 30 minutes to remove any residues.

• Polishing Process: Fill the polishing drum with the appropriate amount of stainless steel shot, add the items to be polished, and cover with water and a suitable polishing compound. Run the tumbler for the recommended duration, periodically checking for the desired finish.

• Maintenance: After use, rinse the shot thoroughly to remove any debris. To prevent oxidation, especially in high-humidity environments, store the shot immersed in a solution of water and a rust inhibitor or barrelling compound.
