Ok, so y'all inspired me to begin making "sea glass", and I bought a 3 lb Lortone rotary tumbler. (I'm wanting to make wind chimes, etc. out of the glass.) The guy where I bought it said I needed coarse grit for glass, and I finished my first batch today, pieces of a dark wine bottle and an amber candy dish. Well, it rounded them out nicely, but the pieces look whiter, more opaque than I expected. Here's my question: If I buy some medium or fine grit and tumble it a while longer, will it look a little less white? Or maybe I should have started with a finer grit? I know I'm gonna love this, but I just want to get my method down right.
