Polish. After determining the best polish to use, put in tumbler with stones; 8 pounds of rocks to 1/2 cup polish. Most of the time you will need to add plastic pellets for filler in all steps. Be sure that you use unused pellets for the polish step. In some cases, add 1 cup of soap flakes for 8 pounds of rocks and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar. These amounts can be altered based on the level of the tumbler. All ingredients, stones, and filler should fill the tumbler at least 1/2 to 2/3 full. Polish should take 3 to 4 days.
