Hi Andrew, No prep for the tumbler, really, just a little shavings of Ivory soap and half full of water with a pound of bits and pieces of stainless steel shot. It will take any sharp edges off of the jumprings (which of course I don't have any!! yeah, right!HAHA) and bring the sterling to a really bright finish. I bought the cheaper model from Harbor Freight, Chicago Rotary Tumbler, and it came with the shot. A lot of the beaders have a more expensive one, but so far this has worked for me. There are a couple of good threads about tumblers when you get ready to buy one.
