Follow these steps to open the tumbling
barrel:
1. Unscrew and remove the outer black
knob.
2. Pop off the stainless steel housing. If
you have trouble, try using something
flat—like a silverware handle—to pry it
off.
3. Reattach the black knob and use it to
pull off the inner lid.
4. Remove the rough gemstones and
grit.
Remember that oceans and rivers take thousands or even millions of years to
produce polished stones. This rock tumbler speeds up that process, but you should
still expect about 4 weeks of tumbling for great polishing results. So remember to
be patient, as the best results come to those who wait.
Polishing Instructions
Caution: Grit can wreak havoc on
plumbing, so never pour the used grit
down any household drain. It is best
to wash your gritty stones and barrel
outside with a garden hose.
1. Add your rocks and grit #1 to the
tumbler barrel.
2. Fill with water until the water just
covers the top of the rocks.
3. Remove the black knob from the inner
lid. Re-insert the black inner lid into the
sealed position with the screw pointed
outward. Replace the metal cap. Reattach
and tighten the black knob. Then place
the barrel on the tumbler base.
4. Plug in the tumbler and select
the desired number of days (see
"Suggested Tumbling Times" below).
5. When the cycle is over and you're
satisfied with your results, pour
the contents of the tumbler into the
strainer, and rinse the rocks and barrel
with water, removing all grit.
6. Repeat the steps above with grits #2,
3, & 4 (in that order). This process will
gradually polish your rough rocks into
smooth gemstones.
7. With the included jewelry fastenings,
you can use your polished gemstones
to make a necklace, a ring, a keychain,
and two clip-on earrings (which can
also be used as pins). Your gemstones
can be inserted inside the keychain
and necklace cages without any glue.
To attach a gemstone to the ring and
earrings, have an adult help with gluing
these accessories. We recommend a
hot glue gun or an all-purpose adhesive
sealant that can be purchased online or
at your local hardware store.
