Polly, are you using sandpaper chips or tumbling grit?

I still use the tumbler if I've got a lot of beads to do at once.
Lately, though, I only end up making like five-ten beads at a time. The
Tide stainbrushes take care of sanding those pretty quick work.


I tried using sandpaper chips (400 then 600) and saw little improvement
so I tried using the finer of the tumbling grits, even though I read
this would be messy. I've gone through 2 steps and am very happy... one
more step with polishing grit to see how far I can take them!

I was wondering about the Tide stainbrush... Doesn't it have a large
head on it? If so, isn't it hard to hang onto the beads. And assuming
you can change/modify it, how? and what do you use?

belated permission to pick your brain???
