    Hi Beth, 

>      How much dry dishwasher detergent for a standard size small
>     tumbler?  I would think just a teaspoon or so? 

    I've been using a small vibratory tumbler with about 5# of stainless
    steel shot for alot of years. I've only used either a no (or low)
    sudsing liquid dishwashing soap or a dry burnishing soap. When I use
    the burnishing soap, all I use is healthy pinch of it. When using
    liquid soap I only use 4 or 5 drops. 

    The purpose of the soap is really to act as a lubricant so the shot
    & items being tumbled have a better action in the tumbler. 

Dave
