Ask the Experts Rotary Tumbler Q&A

I recently bought a Lortone Rotary Tumbler and would like to tumble metal in it. How do I do this? The instruction booklet doesn't address this. Thank you.

Tumble metal in the rotary tumbler with mixed stainless steel shot and burnishing compound (a solution of detergent and water). For detailed instructions, review the ''Tumbling and Polishing Jewelry and Stones with a Tumbler'' how-to video and illustrated instructions.
