At MJR Tumblers, we know that the difference between a "nice" rock and a show-stopping gemstone often comes down to one critical, yet frequently overlooked step: burnishing.
What is Burnishing?
Burnishing is the essential final "cleaning and brightening" stage of the tumbling process. While the polishing stage creates the shine, burnishing removes the microscopic film of polish and minerals—often caused by water hardness—that can leave your stones looking hazy or dull once they dry.
How It Works
- Deep Cleaning: It flushes out lingering slurry and grit trapped in tiny crevices or "vugs" that water alone cannot reach.
- Surface Brightening: For rocks, it strips away stubborn residues to reveal the true "wet look" luster underneath.
- Metal Finishing: For jewelry and metals, burnishing goes a step further by smoothing out microscopic peaks and valleys through "cold flow," which compresses the metal's surface to create a mirror-like finish and increase surface hardness.
Why MJR Tumblers' Proprietary Blend is the Best
Our specialized Burnishing Soap is not just your average soap that can actually cause more harm than good. We’ve developed a Proprietary Blend specifically formulated for high-performance tumbling.
- No "Concrete" Residue: Unlike common detergents, our blend acts as a powerful water softener, preventing polish from drying into a rock-hard residue.
- Barrel Safe: Many household soaps contain additives that can degrade rubber tumbling barrels. Our blend is strictly pH-balanced and oil-free to protect your equipment.
- Superior Luster: Our proprietary formula creates a high-density, frothy slurry that holds contaminants in suspension, ensuring they rinse away completely rather than settling back onto your stones or metalwork.
Target Applications
- Primary: Rock Tumbling: Use after your final polishing stage for 1 to 4 hours (or overnight) to achieve that professional, mirror-like finish.
- Secondary: Jewelry & Metals: Perfect for use with steel shot to brighten silver, copper, and brass. It removes oxidation and surface burrs while work-hardening the metal for a more durable finish.
Pro Tip: Perform the "Buffing Test"—rub a dry, polished stone vigorously on a piece of denim for 10 seconds. If it gets shinier, you need a burnishing cycle with our Proprietary Blend.

Works
Size: 8.5"x11"
Works great for sublimation. Get plenty of sheets. Great value for the price. The paper is pretty thick and seems to hold a good amount of ink without smearing.

My go-to sublimation paper for crafting
Size: 8.5"x11"
I've used several sublimation papers, and this one has worked really well for my crafting projects. The colors transfer bright and vibrant, and the images come out crisp with good detail when using the proper sublimation printer and ink. The paper feeds smoothly through my printer and feels like a good quality weight—not too thin and not overly thick. I've used it for tumblers, keychains, and other sublimation projects, and I've been happy with the results. I also appreciate getting 110 sheets in one pack because it lasts a while, especially when working on multiple projects at once. Overall, this is a reliable sublimation paper that gives consistent results and is great for crafters or small business owners.

Amazing product!
Set name: Sublimation Printer, Set name: Sublimation Printer
All I can say is "WOW". I was skeptical about changing over from my Sawgrass to another brand of sublimation printers. But now I wish I started here from the start! Not only does this machine cost a good amount less with the same paper sizes and options as my SG500 but the ink is cheaper per cartridge and 11ml larger than the standard 30ml I am use to. Set up was super easy, as well as the connection. My prints are bold, bright, and beautiful. I am amazed! I am thankful that the details in the prints show through no matter what material I am pressing on. As a business owner, I need a good, efficient printer that doesn't cost more than the product I am selling. I can't wait to continue using my machine. I have not run into any maintenance issue and can not speak on anything of that as of now. Attached photos; however, my camera did not do it justice.

Good image quality
Set name: Sublimation Printer
Has good print quality and has worked well. I like the tray paper feed for regular size and that I can use the back paper feed set up for my mug sized sublimation paper.
I had considered converting an ink jet to a sublimation, but for a little more decided to try this. Glad I did.
Set up was pretty easy and I'm happy with the color quality and accuracy. I wasn't sure when I first saw the print out, but once the sublimation was doen, it was great.
