For the first fill, don't fill the bowl completely. I keep mine a couple of inches below the edge. You have to leave room for the volume of the cases or the media will tumble over the edge when you fill it. I usually start the tumbler and add the cases while it is running then cover it and let it go for around an hour or so. You don't have to use the polish, but it makes the cases look nice. The separator really does a nice job, just dont breathe in the dust that comes from it when you pour the contents of the tumbler into it.
