How do you keep them from sticking together while tumbling?  Aside from stickiness, I wonder if just tumbling them for a while would round off all the corners. 

 

If they’re rounded enough, they don’t stick together - tumbling would round the corners pretty well, but I don’t think it would be sufficient to get them round enough (basically it would make rounded cubes, like gambling dice) - I need as close to spheres as I can get, since any flat spots will stick together once I start panning.

 

(I might try it though, if no one has any better ideas)
