If you have the opportunity, I would like to see a pic of what the actual media of this coal slage looks like. Ive heard you talk about it before and have been interested.




As you can see from this chart, glass beads and skat magic (coal) take longer to strip the surface. A softer media means more media needed and more time spent stripping. I believe that the best choice is stripping as quickly as possible.
To each his own.
