Questions & Answers

In the tumbler I currently have, there is a layer of black residue on very small pieces of metal jewelry. Will adding this to it prevent this black film? Can you tell me where I can purchase a harbor freight tumbler?

Another Harbor Freight tumbler I have is from the same store. It has never occurred to me to tumble my jewelry without Shine Brite, and I have never had a black residue on my pieces.

What is the safety rating of silver and copper jewelry when used with this product?

In addition to silver and gold, Shinebrite Burnishing compound is safe to use on most non-ferrous metal items Iron and copper, as well as other ferrous metals.

How will it work for me to remove burrs from sheet metal parts? Will my stainless pins work in this application? Are there any rust inhibitors in the product ?

The tumble I assume you're referring to is If yes, then I would say If I tumble long enough, the small burrs on jewelry parts will be removed. I've tumbled parts that have slightly rough edges and they will be nearly smooth after tumble grinding.

It is not necessary for jewelry making, but the extra time that it saves on polishing your jewelry pieces is worth it, especially if you make a lot of jewelry

Obtains exactly the same results as dish soap without ten times the price
3/5

One teaspoon of Dawn dish soap gets the same result as two teaspoons. In my opinion, I would not recommend spending the extra money on Shinebrite since I can't tell the difference between that and This product works for burnishing metals in a tumbler, but doesn't offer any more benefits than dish soap or mineral oil. Moreover, it's kind of obnoxious that you don't list the ingredients on the bottle. Neither I nor the materials safety data sheets know where they can be found.

There really isn't any real difference between Dawn and other dishwashing detergents
3/5

I like it, but it doesn't clean as well as In some reviews, it was said the problem could be solved if it was mixed properly. Although the software does the job, I would not repurchase it.

The parts are left with a dark residue
5/5

Dish soap does not compare to it. In addition to the advertised 'downsizing' and amazing amenities, I expected much more for the price. When I use this product, I have to buff things out of my tumbler after use because they come out dark and dirty. Dish soap lasts much longer, does not leave sludge, and is much Despite the cost, I did not find this worth it.

5/5

Could you please tell us what you have The pieces are so pretty and shiny! However, in cheaper rock tumble machines, barrels are also less likely to last. Keep the sludge out of the tumbler by using a jar inside! little goes a long, long.

A great product

It helps me polish my pours extremely well, and it is an essential step in the process. The tumbler is where I keep it.

It is a great value and a great price. In my workshop, it would be a disaster if it wasn't for it.

Not my cup of tea
3/5

Compounds containing this compound create far too much foam even when diluted very little. In a vortex tumbler, foam is a bad thing when the media is stainless steel.
