From 4 to 6 weeks. Some polish faster, others take longer. During each stage of polishing we go through each barrel after a 4-5 day period and select which rocks stay back in the barrel they came out of and which go on to the finer grit for polishing. If you take your time you can get some very beautiful rocks. We use two of the two barrel polishes so we have all 4 grades of grit going at once. Just keep moving them to the next level of polishing. After 5 weeks you should have a polished barrel of rocks each week.

Yes this will polish rocks. I'm doing my first load now, and am on the final polish cycle. I used about a table spoon of coarse, then medium, pre-polish, and now polish. About 2 days for each step. It holds about 2.5 lbs of rock.

It usually takes about 20 minutes per quarter inch of thickness. To conserve clay and keep baking time low use balled up aluminum foil and cover with clay to make bigger objects. There are many project books for simple polymer clay projects. If you have never used polymer clay before, I recommend getting one.

Yes, follow instruction and when you finish you will get the some color like your stone.

You will need the package of 4 different grit. I bought the package that contained 4 large, 1/2 pound packages of grit. Then some rocks, of course. Not real big rocks. Rocks about the size of a strawberry and smaller. Any shape. We have, so far, polished all shapes of rocks. Even flat ones. Just make sure you measure the grit exactly as it says and leave in the tumbler for at least 7 days. We go through and sort through the rocks after each week. Moving some to the next stage and putting some back to the first stage again.

There is only enough for 1 cycle. Its takes about 3 1/2 weeks to run a batch. I bought refill boxes of course grit, fine grit, pre polish, and polish here on Amazon

It took me 3-4 hours, using the right tools like a fuel line removal tool. It shouldn't take too much longer if your doing it your first time. Instructions are pretty easy to understand, just have a clean work space and there should be no problems.

We build the foundation first and MAKE SURE IT IS LEVEL! It took 3 days to build the entire unit. 1 day for the foundation and we screwed in the frame into rock after it was level! Good luck!

Depends on the blade. Knife steels vary in their hardness and have differing requirements. Usually, I don't count. It takes me about 5-10 minutes on the fine and ultra fine stones to get my blades super sharp. YMMV.

They are small dry beads that swell when you place them in water. Usually takes 8-10 hours for them to get the size of a marble.

Depends on how much water you put into the tank. If you fill to the max, it is about 5 minutes more or less where you will start getting steam to start or resume your project.

depends on how much is on it, anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. You can't finalize it later.

Depends on the size and especially the thickness. Average, about two hours.

It really depends on how dense you want the brick to turn out. The less shredded and broke down te paper the less sense the brick. I is the paper from my bill shredder and then soak it for 24 hrs then mix it with a drill and beater to make sense bricks that burn longer.

It's not fast, but it is well built. I think one batch takes about 7 or 8 minutes to extrude.

Dear Maryellen Brown,It takes about 3 minutes for each step. Please kindly note it's nomal that gel Polish is a bit gummy and you need to wipe your nails down with rubbing alcohol after you're finished. Best regards,MelissaMelodySusie Direct

As soon as you have added the amount of water to the bucket as you started with. I run the water level higher than they say to as well. Up into the rocks a few inches.
