RE: how long do should you tumbl - 5/15/2011 9:34:36 AM    chosi Posts: 106 Joined: 2/25/2008 From: Northern Virginia Status: offline I usually use 1 day for a cutting tumble.  Any longer doesn't seem to make much difference. I usually use 4 days for a polishing tumble.  3 days will typically get all the "frostiness" out of the glass, but sometimes it needs a little longer, so I go with 4 days. Your results will almost certainly vary, so I offer this as a starting point.  As the previous posts say, you need to experiment on a few bottles and find out what works best for you. _____________________________ - Chosi ( See my website at www.chosi.org ) (in reply to blade) Post #: 5
