For this tutorial I'm using my tumbler to polish the ring. You can use a Dremel or just simply a polishing cloth.

Take 1lb of stainless steel mixed shot and pour it into your barrel. Drop the ring in. Mix 2 1/2 to 3oz. of the Super Sunsheen with 1 gallon of water (regular water is ok). Pour it in your barrel so it covers about 1/4" to 1/2" over the shot. Put the lid on and tumble for about 1 hour.

After the tumbler, if you want a super high shine, take your Dremel, use a felt polishing tip (like these) and red rouge polishing compound (like this). Spin the felt tip on your red rouge and use it to polish your ring. It gives such an amazing high shine. You can also use a Foredom Flex Shaft.

This last step is completely optional, you can use just the tumbler to polish your piece or just the Dremel/flex shaft, or you can get those polishing cloths and polish them by hand.

Next you can oxidize your piece, I'm choosing to not oxidize this piece but if you'd like me to write a post on just oxidizing your copper let me know!

Step 10 | Seal Your Copper
