[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1713753, member: 93138"] The bowl is most probably Polyethylene or Polypropylene, both of which have extremely low surface energy. Going to be hard to bond them with much of anything if they are. If you have access to a plasma etcher, then you'll have better luck if you can etch it first. The recycling mark with say either "PE" or "PP" inside the triangle. Failing Hornady being of any help, some commercial de-burring tumblers are lined with rubber. Consider coating the inside of the bowl with one of the smooth DIY pick-up bedliner kits. Duraback is not a good choice as it is a rough surface. You want smooth. [I][B]EDIT:[/B][/I] If it is the "M1" model tumbler the Thumbler's bowl may fit and I was easily able to buy a spare one of those for my wife's silver-smithing use. [/QUOTE]
