Product Description
Tumblex Gleam (Roll Gleam) is a tumbling soap designed for cleaning, burnishing, and polishing jewellery and metal components in rotary and vibratory tumblers. Ideal for use with stainless steel shot and other suitable tumbling media, it helps remove surface residues, improve the tumbling action, and produce a cleaner, brighter finish on gold, silver, copper, brass, and other compatible metals.
When added to water in a jewellery tumbler, Tumblex Gleam acts as a cleaning and lubricating compound, helping the tumbling media move smoothly across the metal surface while carrying away dirt, oils, and polishing residues. This helps improve the consistency of the burnishing process and reduces unnecessary friction between the workpieces and tumbling media.
Suitable for both rotary barrel tumblers and vibratory finishing machines, Tumblex Gleam is a practical addition to jewellery workshops looking to achieve bright, consistent results when finishing castings, fabricated jewellery, chains, findings, and other small metal components.

Important Information
Tumblex Gleam is intended to assist with cleaning and burnishing during the tumbling process. It is not an abrasive polishing compound and will not remove deep scratches, heavy casting marks, or significant surface imperfections. Jewellery should be appropriately prepared before tumbling for the best results.
Use the recommended amount of compound for your tumbler and media. Excessive soap may produce unnecessary foaming without improving the finished result. Always follow the operating instructions for your particular tumbling machine.
Tumblex Gleam (Roll Gleam) is a useful jewellery finishing compound for achieving clean, bright, and consistent results in rotary and vibratory tumblers, making it an excellent addition to any jewellery making or metal finishing workshop.
