    An alternative to low sudsing dish detergents is to simply buy bars
    of plain Ivory handsoap and add a few very thin shavings to the water
    in your tumbler (amount depends on size of tumbler -- in my Lortone
    45C, I use 4 thin shavings off the end of the bar, when the tumbler
    is half full of water). 

    As for polishing your jewelry, I always recommend Cerambits as a
    tumbling medium.  Due to the kindness of several folks on this list,
    I have found out where to get it again.  It is made by Raytech, but
    you order it through Kingsley North in Norway, Michigan
    (800-338-9280, or     www.kingsleynorth.com).  They backordered a new
    lot for me, and I am eagerly awaiting its arrival. 

All the best,
Judy Bjorkman
