I finally got some black airsoft BBs and began dry tumbling. Again, red powder works quite well, but black not so hot. Tried green and also got fair to poor coverage. I tried swirling, tossing, tumbling in a rotary, vibrating cleaner (not enough movement in my attempt), and get the same results. Yep white #5 tub, black BBs, and Powder by the Pound powders.
So, I was thinking, and I've read about static electricity playing a large part in dry tumbling, how would one impart static electricity to a tumbling tub and contents?
BTW; I live on the rainy coast in So. Oregon and normal ambient static is rare...
