Not got my set yet, but will tomorrow. Wondering if I have to fill the tank to the 2 pound maximum every time I want to tumble rocks?


THANKS
 
Fill at least 2 / 3rds full. (Thats what I've read and do) You can use those plastic or ceramic tumbling fillers to fill some of the space.

I take my first 4th round off the tumbler Tuesday... Can't wait to see the results.

Send pics, please! Bet they’re gonna be awesome! ?
Pics will be in the other tumbling thread that's been going for a little while now

I kept out 4 from going into the Polish round because they were shiny enough. An Agate , 2 Banded Jaspers and one that's not identified yet but it has a couple specs of copper in it. They'll be in the picture. I'm impatiently waiting to end that round.

Follow the instructions that come with the tumbler. It’s been over 50yrs since I polished rocks, so memory is a bit fuzzy. Although, I only did smaller stones to make jewelry from.
