Walnut Media When to use new? When Cleaning tokens

[idahofur]

So I purchased some media for my rock tumbler. Let them run all night. Fixed alot of my first attempt and about 1/2 came out shiney. The other 1/2 was different levels of shiney. So I stuck them back in. However, the media is now a dark color. So do I need to replace the media or can I keep using the same stuff? Also were does a thread like this go? I went to post it under problems. But it wanted a machine and model number. Etc and since this is not 100% specific to a machine. Figured I would ask. One other thing. I have some tokens were the shiney is rubbing off. Has anybody ever painted there tokens back to silver and gold color for that or does it cause problems?

Thanks,
Josh

Keep using the media and forget the paint!

I have found that the longer you use it the better it works.

Try powdered polishing compound (rouge)
Then wash tokens afterwards.
