A couple of my rocks looked very promising through stages 1 - 4 but after stage 4 I still have a few promising rocks with crevices and rough spots that undoubtedly required more time in stage 1. Any tips on running some of these over again on stage 1? For how long this time? And then should I run them through stages 2-4 again? Will they lose the polish they attained in stage 4? Should I run them only with other rocks that have gone through all 4 stages but need more work? Or is it ok to run them with rocks that haven’t been tumbled at all yet? Lots of questions. Thanks in advance.

Run them with other rocks that are of the same hardness. It does not matter if they are run previously, they will rough back up. It happens all of the time. Just keep on keeping on.

If you do YouTube video tutorials and are not already familiar with him, check out the Jugglerguy Rob's channel for real good videos on all the process. www.youtube.com/user/jugglerguy1Doing inspections at every stage and separating stuff to go on to the next stage, while continuing on with those that aren't ready yet, is the name of the game with tumbling, with some materials it might take a couple barrels of rough grind to accuculate enough to go on to stage 2, if you're like us and don't add much filler.

Welcome! If you go back to stage 1, you need to go through stage 2,3,4... again.
