I'm in the process of rebuilding a 1971 Playball and have read posts where folks polish their parts in a tumbler. I'm new to part tumbling and have a few questions -

What kind of media is best to use? Can odd shaped parts like chrome chanels be polished this way? How long do you typically let the parts run through the tumbler?

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! Great idea to pick up the walnut at a pet supply.

I got my tumbler on Amazon. If I did it again, I'd look for one with a bigger tub.
