FAQs

What is this media made of?

This is a medium-grade unsaturated resin media designed for vibratory tumblers.

Can I use this with any vibratory tumbler?

Yes, it is designed for Gunson tumblers but is compatible with most other brands of vibratory tumblers.

How long does the media last?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency and the types of parts being tumbled. It will gradually wear down and may need replacement over time.

Will this damage the threads on my bolts?

No, the resin media is specifically designed to remove rust and burrs without damaging threads.

What kind of finish can I expect?

You can expect a clean, dry, polished finish on your metal parts.

Is this media suitable for heavy rust removal?

It is effective for moderate rust and burrs. For very heavy corrosion, you might consider a more aggressive media like ceramic, or a longer tumbling time.

Do I need to use a liquid with this media?

This media can be used for dry tumbling, or with water and a suitable cleaning solution for wet tumbling, depending on your specific needs and tumbler manufacturer's recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Parts are not getting clean

Ensure the tumbler is not overloaded. Check if the media has worn down significantly and needs replacing. Try adding a small amount of water and a compatible cleaning agent if using a wet tumbling process.

Threads are still damaged

This media is designed to protect threads; however, extremely fine or delicate threads may still be susceptible. Ensure parts are not rubbing against each other excessively by not overloading the tumbler. Consider using a finer grade media if available for more delicate tasks.

Media is clumping

This can happen if the media is stored in a damp environment. Ensure the media is completely dry before storing it in a sealed container in a dry location.

Residue left on parts

If using a cleaning solution, ensure it is fully rinsed off. If tumbling dry, the media itself should leave a dry finish. Excessive dust might indicate the media is breaking down too quickly, possibly due to overly aggressive tumbling times or conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively removes rust and burrs from metal parts.
  • Protects fine threads from damage during the tumbling process.
  • Leaves parts with a clean, dry, and polished finish.
  • Compatible with most vibratory tumblers, including Gunson models.
  • The 1kg bag offers good value for general workshop use.

Cons

  • Best suited for medium-grade applications; may not be aggressive enough for heavy corrosion.
  • Requires a compatible vibratory tumbler to operate.
  • Resin media can wear down over time and may need replacement.
  • Not suitable for polishing delicate or plated items that could be abraded.
  • Only one type of media is provided in this specific product listing (Resin).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your vibratory tumbler is clean and dry.
  2. Add the Gunson Resin Media to the tumbler bowl. Do not overfill; typically, fill the bowl 1/2 to 2/3 full with media and parts combined.
  3. Place the parts to be cleaned into the tumbler with the media.
  4. Add a small amount of water and a suitable cleaning solution if recommended by your tumbler manufacturer (optional, depending on the task).
  5. Secure the tumbler lid and run the machine according to its instructions.

Compatibility:

This Gunson media is designed to work effectively with Gunson vibratory tumblers. It is also generally compatible with other brands of vibratory tumblers that use dry or wet media tumbling methods. The medium-grade resin is suitable for most ferrous metals and plastics.

Care:

  • After use, separate the media from the parts. Rinse the media with clean water if a wet tumbling process was used, and allow it to air dry completely before storage.
  • Store the media in a dry place to prevent clumping.
  • The resin media will gradually wear down with use. Monitor its condition; if it becomes overly fine or a significant amount is lost, it may be time to replenish your supply.
