[QUOTE="Explorer385, post: 183198, member: 1849"] Personally, I have never had an issue with gas (my wife might beg to differ), I generally run the rocks for a week or so in each of the different grit sizes, for rough rocks I start with 46 grit working through, 80,220,600 then polish with tin oxide or cerium oxide. I check after the first couple of days to ensure all is working well then reseal the tumbler and let it go till I wash off and start the new grit. There are some great You tube videos and also some pretty good instructions via google. Aussie Sapphire has some good information and I buy all of my tumbling supplies from them. They are very quick and efficient and reasonably priced. Terry [/QUOTE]
