Depends on whether your cutting or polishing ? And how bad the stain is really.

It usually takes a few days, but like Brian just said, it really depends on the specimen. You should practice on some commons until you get the hang of it.

You do should tumble long how .[]

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.
