Floats off easy for separation and reuse over and over again. An excellent filler or cushioning agent in the tumbler. Do not use between different grinding or polishing stages.
Question asked: Is this used to add bulk in second stage tumbling. I thought they would be bigger.

Yes, these can be used as a filler in your tumbler. If you're looking for a larger filler I would recommend the large non abrasive ceramic media, we also have a small non abrasive that would be bigger than the plastic pellets as well.

Question asked: The DETAILS section of this product has this statement "Do not use between different grinding or polishing stages." I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that statement. Do you mean do not wash and use the same pellets for different grits? If so, why not? Can you please explain?

Basically do not use pellets you have used in 80 in 220. So keep them exclusive for one grit to prevent contamination.
