Potters: Metal Finishing Glass Beads


Glass beads are consumed at a slow rate and can survive multiple impacts, allowing for continuous recycling of the media for use with a variety of metals. Being  chemically inert, they will not leave ferrous or other undesirable residues on the surface of the workpiece,  imparting a controlled and clean finish and allowing you to clean quickly without significant metal removal. Available in a variety of sizes found in the table below.
