Re: [silverthreads] Re: Tumble polishing

 
If this link doesn't work, google "3m radial bristle disc"
I use these almost exclusively to finish and polish my jewelry.

Can I skip all the polishing compounds? Just polish with a 3m wheel? If I can avoid ALL paste polishing compounds, that would be great! Does this method result in a finished polished piece?

I'm doing this in my apartment, and the idea of battling the grit is not a pleasant one. I can use the files and then the tumbler?
