Hi

    To finish my silver pieces I'm using 5/32 OVAL stainless stell shots
    w/Rio burnishing compound in a small rotary tumbler, I'm happy with
    the results on some of the stuff, but that doesn't work so good on
    pieces with somehow a flat surface. My pendents and buckle are
    getting a "orange peel" kind of finish. Is anything I can do for fix
    the problem, I'm sure I'm not the only one that as experience this,
    but been pretty new to using a tumbler I'll love an advise from
    somebody with more experience. 

Thank You
EMI
