I have had some stuff in the polish stage in my lot-o for 3 days. AO polish. I was planning on taking it out tonight but will be unable. Probably won't get to it for at least 2 more days.
Should I add some more polish or just leave it as is? The stones look shiny and ready to take out already.
Thanks Bill

It should be OK to let it run as is. You might want to make sure it isn't too dry. You should not need to add polish. Nobody will tell you the rocks are too shiny.

So how did did the polish job turn out after letting it run a few extra days? Silver Foxx

Those look great. The only thing that has happened to me if stuff stays in polish - besides getting REALLY shiny - is occasionally (not every batch and I'm not sure why) some of the polish seems to create a film on the rocks (making them less shiny)
I do a burnish (which I think you do anyway if I remember correctly) and this cleans everything up every time.

After posting I was eating some chips. Thought this had to go here. Bill

eating chips?? A cardiologist?? I don't touch them because I never want to have to meet a cardiologist, unless it's at a gem show

John You are right about chips. I can unequivocally say they are not part of the american heart association diet. Getting a heart shaped chip kinda made up for it. Kinda? Sorta? Not really Thanks Bill
