I'm planning on using a rock tumbler to polish polymer clay covered plastic eggs. Which medium is best? - polishing clay
I have eggs and covered with 1 / 8 "layer of polymer clay. Which means must be used to polish the glass to the best results?" I do not want to rub the clay.

Polishing Clay I'm Planning On Using A Rock Tumbler To Polish Polymer Clay Covered Plastic Eggs. Which Medium Is Best?

* There is a wealth of information about the elements of dry grinding Polmar dirt on this side of my page:

... Click on the category called "Sand Tumble
Polymer clay items, which are to be sanded very smooth, "polished" by polishing (by hand in a fit of Nice or the machine all the way to a very bright) to be received clearly in May or water with a basic design (such as polyurethane or) other items to a shiny surface, which is similar to "polish type".
Since the polymer is much softer than stone or metal, grinding media themselves are not used because they are too aggressive and remove clay or leave raw. You can about the different things that you used in Claye get linked reductions in polymer clay with sand tracks on the page above, and also to different ways of polishing and the use of clear statements on this website:

(and if youWant to learn more about the eggs with polymer clay, visit this page:

In reality, however, I noticed that you said that you put eggs in a glass * thinking?? This would really only work if the eggs are very small, and even then probably not the best idea would be.
How do you side up eggs are connected, see, eggs are covered with mud, usually hand-sand * * with 400 to 600 of the sandpaper wet / dry, then use a buffer or clear coated polished surface - or both.
