Using tin oxide on my final polish I had them in for a 10 days i pulled them out and the rocks have spots where they polished out like they were supposed to but most of the rock is still smoothed out pre polish stage. I think I used too much water or not enough tin oxide? I am using a 3 quart ultra vibe-10.

I haven't used tin oxide yet and would recommend aluminum oxide if you can't get a shine. It also might have to do with the material you're tumbling.

Here in Australia Al Oxide is really expensive and hard to get hold of,so I always use Tin Oxide in my Ultravibe and it works a treat. The rocks need to be just damp, so after you have washed them after the prepolish drain the water off, and add about half a teaspoon of Tin Oxide. Set it going and after 24 hours everything should be pretty shiny, if not just keep them in there until they are. Please post some photos, there are a few things that could be happening that we can help sort out.
