Barrel Tumbler Modification
Do you ever get one of those days when your barrel tumbler just doesn't want to rotate the barrel? Well I just started the day with one of those days. I tried a lighter load, a heavier load, roughening the drive roller and barrel lids a little with a diamond rasp, but would the little blighter rotate the barrel... No way, it simply refused to play. I suspect it may be something to do with the weather, it doesn't like cold mornings, but when the weather is warmer the rubber rollers are stickier and away it goes, no problem.
Then the light went on... Finger Tape, aka self-adhesive elastic bandage. The narrow 2.5cm version is available here: http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery...prcode-998-071
But I used a wider 5cm tape, seen in the photo as the blue wrapping on the drive roller.
