Well - actually I can ,thank Goodness. I'm using " the poor man's Tumbler ." I've been

shakin' my stuff in a jar now for 20 minutes

I'm dead TIRED ! UGH !!!!!! I'm trying to dull the edges of the glass so I won't torture my fingers when I grout.

Harbor Freight is 20 minutes away .... I might have to take a "field trip " ............*sigh*

PS ... If I do buy one .... do

you put water in your tumbler ? How much ?

~~ I'm done shakin' my stuff ~~

Geez, that's a LOT of shaking! When I do mine, if ever, I only go about 5 min. And I wear playtex gloves when I grout. I've never been cut.

TMG, I tumble my glass (in my double barrel tumbler from Harbor Freight) for 30-45 minutes. I put enough water in it to cover it at least 1/2" and then a drop of dish detergent. Then I rinse it in a strainer and it is very finger friendly and clean. I really like the difference in tumbled glass on 3D items. It's just a real plus on flat surfaces. Well worth the money IMO.
