Besides polishing stones, can I also frost glass to look like beach glass?

You can, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. I have polished some rough beach glass using fine sand. (But then I have to state it is not genuine beach glass-purists don't approve of putting it on the tumbler. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/761052/ try this gentleman's siggestions -

Yes it should work...you can substitute the glass media wherever sand is used!Merle

You will want to use the felt wheels and a polishing compound like 3m glass polish. Go slow and take your time especially if the glass is thin.

Yes you can. I have fire glass in mine. It actually came with clear glass. I use the clear glass as a base and I bought a nice Azure Blue for the top. Turned out nice!

Yes, but don't let it get wet. Also, it leaves a gritty coating that you can see and feel. I painted the edges of a side table that had glass "rocks" and had to scrub it off the glass as it looked and felt icky. I also painted a thin line around a light switch cover and you can feel the grittiness. Doesn't really work for outdoor items, as by the time the sun sets, the glow is feeble. Works great indoors, though!

Yes, exactly. The glass itself has a greenish tint, goes very nicely with the frosting

Hubby says that all the diamond tipped ones can be used on stone or glass. ( the granular embedded ones). Hope that can help you!! :.))

I found no glaze was needed, they're a little rough but I found a tip to use wax paper to rub them with (using it almost like sandpaper) once they're set and that seemed to work well.

I have used Muslims diamond glaze to put rhinestones, pebbles and other small embellishments on bowls, jars and tile. It has not stripped the coloring, but in fact has given me a beautiful glass like shine. I also use this glaze to glue and seal material cutouts onto glass. I actually stopped using glues because the diamond glaze is so multifunctional. Happy Crafting

The surface is not glass smooth. It has a surface similar to when you mix sand in paint for texture.

Yes indeed you can. I use a dremel to sand rough then a finer finish grit. I have not gone for a polished look though, but it is probably possible. I sand to shape with more precision.

Oil is best but water with drop of dish soap will work. It's a decent stone.

If there are corners that jut out I would think so but if not I would try to find the foam table edging. And I'd also recommend getting your own command strips if you are going to attAch to stone because it may be more difficult to stick to than a glass or wood surface.

You can as this product acts just like high grit sandpaper so you would want to wet sand with it as you would in the final stages of finishing. You may only need a abrasive polish or rubbing compound and a buffer or a lot of elbow grease if you are just trying to restore luster.

Sure, why not. The finish is not gloss so you might be able to find a paint that you can use without sanding it. However the best way would be do a light sand, paint with primer and then apply the finish coat.

Yes the sand is already in the hourglass. Not removable unless you break the glass either.
