Ball Bearings to put in 1 gal product
I'm thinking of dropping some ball bearings in my 1 gal compound and polish products for stirring.
Local store only carries nickel plated.
I'm thinking stainless would be better.
Any advise?

Maybe the ultimate would be ceramic? But I am not sure how much mass they have. I have seen stainless bearings on that one auction site.

I can order stainless from Home Depot, I'm just wondering if that's the best thing to put in my product.
My biggest fear is any degradation of the bearing that will contaminate the product. I suppose there would be none with stainless.

I used to do nickel plating for a living back in the day, it is pretty durable. It is actually a component in the makeup of most stainless steel. In a polish it should work well.

•My local Lowes, Home Depot have loose-(ly)packed
SS ball bearings in their specialty pull-out shelves.
•My local Sporting Goods stores have SS balls:

Maybe glass marbles? I don't think those will contaminate the chemical with defeating from exposure to chemicals

Was waiting for your post Bob! :-)
Yeah, I want to Home Depot, they had none, then I went to ACE HW, they only had what they could guess as nickel, or it could have been chrome plated. I opted not to take any chances. I will have to order stainless on-line.

I wouldn't be surprised if the big box stainless ball bearings were low grade and ready to rust anyways.

I know Walmart sells sling shot ammo, which is basically small metal balls/bearings....I just don't remember exactly what kind they are
