1. You need to gather up your rocks and fill your machine about 2/3 or 3/4 full with rocks. If you are not going to be utilizing that many rocks or you do not have an adequate amount on hand, you can utilize the plastic pellets to fill in.
2. You will then add water to the rocks, be careful as not to cover the rocks completely. A level just below the top layer of rocks should be perfect. After water has been added you may then add in the "course grind" grit.
3. You should then turn the machine on and allow the machine time to knock off all the hard edges on the rocks. The stones should come out appearing soft in appearance without the pointy edges that rocks often times have.
4. After you have completely finished the first step you will then rinse the stones off so they can be clear of any extra debris that was knocked off from the machine. Your first step should take you about 12-24 hours to complete successfully.
5. You will then repeat all the above steps with different grit sizes for a period of one month. Going next to a fine grit, then to a pre-polish, a polish and finally a burnishing process using soap, to clean everything up completely.
6. Marvel at the beautiful tumbled gemstones you have created!
As long as you adhere to all the guidelines in your rock tumbler instruction booklet, as well as the above guidelines you should be able to consistently have rocks that are beautiful and shiny in appearance.
The process may take a little longer then you would like, however beauty does not know time and can't be rushed. The end result will make it all worthwhile.
