It will break down and round off as you use it, with no loss of performance. It will give your work a lovely soft matte finish (and if you want a higher polished finish you can follow up with steel shot).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eH\u0026amp;H is meant for rotary polishing tumblers. Please check the weight capacity of your tumbler, to ensure the total weight of your water, media, and jewellery is within the limits of what your tumbler can cope with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recommend you designate a barrel to be used specifically with H\u0026amp;H only. Small abrasive particles can remain in the barrel after use, if you want to use the same barrel with steel shot it will require careful cleaning and rinsing between materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHone \u0026amp; Highlight tumbling media will;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esmooth and refine edges and surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eenhance detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eachieve effortless contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econsistent results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efree up studio space, time, and money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincrease productivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ematte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORIGINAL OR MINI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in two types, Original and Mini Media.
