Hi,
I want to polish broken beer and wine glass and don't know how to go about it. Would like to do "by hand", so it would be similar to sea glass or lake glass. Anyone have any ideas?

I have done this in the past using a rock tumbler. Armor etch also make an etch bath solution that will etch things by dipping them but I would think that could get costly. I bought my rock tumbler from Harbar Freight for I think about 20$. The good part about the rock tumbler is you can do lots of loads.

Thanks, Lovecrafting, I was also wondering about this and thought a rock tumbler might work. I'll put it on my "wish" list!

If you have a local store keep checking their ads, they put them on sale quite often.

I sure will, and I wonder if Hobby Lobby carries the tumblers - I could use my 40% off coupon perhaps!
