Getting rid of your rock tumbling waste material, slurry can be a real problem. After each tumble you may be left with buckets of slurry, water mixed with stone dust. I this video I demonstrate exactly why you must not put this down a domestic drain, and if you try to put this in your domestic bin you may find that the container you put it in bursts and leaves a nasty mess, you may also run the risk of the bin men refusing your waste! If you dump it in the road you will leave a nasty mess in the gutter annoying the neighbors .
In this video I show how I dispose of my rock tumbler waste slurry, this is not suitable for most people as I do have a fair amount of slurry to get rid of, not only from my rock tumblers but also from cutting polishing and carving rocks and stone. But hopefully seeing how I deal with the problem may give you ides about your slurry. I also show two other methods of disposal if you are a beginner to tumbling or only have one or two barrels. This is a bit of a long tutorial but it does cover as lot of ground and may help you solve a real problem.
