To impart a highly reflective shine to the tumbled parts proceed next to the Dry
Shine
Media
®
III (#13450). Place parts to be polished in the tumbler bowl and
add entire 15 lbs. of Dry Shine
Media
®
III (#13450) to the parts. There is no
need to add any water or polishes as this media is already treated with a polish.
Dry Shine
Media
®
III (#13450) should be tumbled with the parts for at least 6
hours. Tumbling for longer periods will yield a higher shine. Remember to use a
ratio of 70% Media to 30% Parts. This dry media will not remove an appreciable
amount of material, however it will remove dirt, and stain residues. Typical
running time for this media is 6 to 24 hours, but can easily run to several days.
Protect the shine with Eastwood Diamond Clear for Bare Metal (#10200Z
Aerosol; #10357ZP Quart; #29894Z Extreme Diamond Clear, 8 oz.) or the
Eastwood Tin-Zinc Electroplating System (#10049Z). For the longest lasting
finish protection use the Eastwood HotCoat
®
Powder Coating System (#10198).
The following maintenance should be performed every 100 hours of use:
1. Check tightness of all hardware.
2. Inspect interior of bowl to ascertain any premature wear.
To optimize media use:
1. Allow wet media to thoroughly dry before returning to unused
media
container.
2. Continue to use media until it no longer cuts in a reasonable amount
of
time.
3. Continue to use all medias until they become a useless dust as the
abrasive/polishing treatments permeate the entire cross section.
Problem
Parts Too Dull
Bowls Wearing
Too Quickly
Heavy Deposits
In Recesses
Possible Cause: Corrective Action
• Not in tumbler long enough: Allow more time.
• Skipped steps: Follow all steps for quickest results.
• Using wrong media: refer to selection chart in catalog.
• Parts too big for tumbler: Works best on parts smaller
than 7”.
• Too many parts: Ideal ratio is 70% media, 30% parts.
• Too much or too little water when using any of the wet
media. Use just enough water to wet media.
• Parts not properly degreased before tumbling: Degrease or
add 1 teaspoon of Metal Wash to bowl.
• Not enough water added to wet media: Add more water or
rinse periodically during processing.
