Tips for getting the best results:
Tip #1: Don't overload the tumbler.
The action of the rocks crashing into
each other will give you the best
tumbling results. If the tumbler is too
full, the rocks can't move as freely and
won't polish as well. For best results,
fill your tumbler barrel about 1/2 to
2/3 full. If you overfill the tumbler, the
built-in sensor will automatically protect
the motor inside by turning the tumbler
off. If this happens, you should remove
some of the rocks, unplug the tumbler,
and plug it in again. This will reset the
tumbler.
Tip #2: Use your own judgment.
Use the tumbling guide below as a place
to start, but use your own judgment
to determine if your rocks need more
time on each grit cycle (especially when
you're tumbling new types of rocks).
Some rocks are harder than others, so
they'll take more time to polish than
softer rocks.
Tip #3: Always wash a few "test"
stones before changing grit.
The purpose of the roughest grit (#1)
is to completely round all of the edges.
Whenever you finish a grit cycle, always
grab a few test stones and rinse them off
before you dump out all of the grit and
water. Carefully inspect these test rocks
to determine if you think they're smooth
enough. If you don't think they're finished,
simply put them back in the barrel and
run the batch for more time. Repeat this
process with each grit. Each grit will get
you a smoother and smoother polish.
Generally speaking, longer is always
better.
Tip #4: Adding a small bit of mineral
oil to your finished stones will help give
them a nice shiny look.
Suggested Tumbling Times:
Grit #1: 3–5 days (until the stones
have all lost their sharp edges and feel
smooth)
Grit #2: 6–8 days
Grit #3: 6–8 days
Grit #4: 7–10 days (the long polishing
time will help you get the best results)
