How much glass rock does it take?

It does come with a bag of black glass rock that is enough. But I wanted to spruce mine up, so I got; Fire Pit Glass Rocks, COBALT BLUE~3/8-1/2", 4 LBS Sold by: MailOrderRocks and used mixed the colors. I used about 2 lbs of the blue rock and took out half the black.

The rocks it comes with are just enough! I might add a few more for a different color! But I absolutely love mine!

The amount that comes with a new fire pit is just the right amount. It fills the bowl up to the edges. My guess is 1 1/2 - 2 pounds.

Bag of black glass come with heater. It was about 5-6 cups if I guessed the bag was about 10"X 10" about 2" thick.

I couldn't tell you one by one- but I can tell you a round about. A lot of them involve boiling and cool down time and ofcourse, mixing. Approximately half hour or so for each to get them started. The longest part is waiting for them to grow.....days. One of mine took two weeks to show anything remotely close to a stone. And some of them have another step you take after the stone has grown a little, like gluing it on a string and hanging it into the solution so you can watch it further grow longer. Do not expect "big" results. These are tiny- like pencil eraser tiny. I even tried doubling up on the experiments---still small crystals. It is neat though. I think I was more interested than my 6 year old though in watching them grow. Also- if you do hang them on string- don't use regular glue. Invest in a glue gun or they will fall off from the moisture. And....I suggest gloves when using the blue/purple powder. I had to use bleach to get it off my hands.

You should be fine doing that but I'd cut down the run times. The glass will wear down quick compared to the stones people are tumbling. Might only start with the fine grit as well.

have never tried it but glass is harder than granite so I see no reason why it would not. diamonds are very hard. just remember--GO SLOW and use plenty of water.

Depends on the size of the rock. The material is not an issue -- I use it to cut agates and quartz up to a couple inches in size. The important thing is to go slow and make sure to keep the cut wet.

Glass. We go through a case in no time. Six to a case at 32 oz. (1 qt.) per glass bottle.

It depends on the size of the pieces. Small pieces you can probably do about 25 at a time.

The base and top are about the same size and the unit needs a decent foot print. When moved it requires 2 people cause its just that stout :) We opted for the cracked glass fire too and added that on top of the supplied lava rock. I definitely recommend the purchase of colored glass :)

That is exactly what I did. Caveat: it takes a lot of glass (80 lbs. for me) and still I see some lava rock poking out. But I'm happy with it.

Depends on the size of glasses. I can put 10-12 depending - and that is without them hitting each other.

It depends: if glass mounted about 5-6, if cardboard mounted about the double, thats my experience.

I am not a master at tumbling, but I would think small pieces of glass (think small rock size) will work good. I would think you would need to run with the fine grit a little longer than normal.

hmmm... I'm not sure how many it came with, but we weren't short any, if that helps. You can also easily add more glass stones. They are just the fancy glass pebble that you can use in flower vases or a fish tank.

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.

I'm not sure of the ounces. They're about the size of a rocks glass - I'd estimate 6 - 8 oz.

There is enough leeway for an 8-10 oz glass. I usually just have the container toward the table edge so I can angle the glasses. It works great.

I haven't installed it yet, but I purchased 30 lbs for my fire pit. I put decorative rock to almost fill the fire pit, then added sand to go just beneath the fire ring. That way you don't need to purchase as much glass
