Woo hoo I've been to Argos and got one of those kiddies ones

all I need now is the shot etc and sore fingers and a rouge coloured face will soon be a distant memory!

I got mine on ebay and it was very reasonable..... I put the jewellery in the barrel with water and fairy liquid and voille !!!!! When you are done tumbling though cover your steelshot with water otherwise it will rust... I too promised myself a more upmarket tumbler when i had more money but to be honest the kids one is so perfect and its a little over 2yrs old now

Ok, I don't know if this is possible, but I threw my silver creation in with a load of shot, washing up liquid and water, and chucked it in the tumble dryer.

It came out looking shiny, but also covered in mini dents from the shot. Can any one tell me
a) what I did wrong

b) how to fix it

c) if there is a foolproof way to polish silver (even if it takes forever it's surely better than wrecking a piece?)

Unfortunately it was a piece for a customer, and I really don't feel I can send it out looking imperfect. Probably not the best piece to experiment on (fool that I am!), so I'd love to rescue it rather than starting again.

Completely annoyed with myself now, probably should have bought some rouge instead of jumping in with the shot which appears to have been a bad move for me.
