They all look great, but the wonderstone is a real achievement. Thanks for sharing your tips with it--I hope mine come out somewhere close to as good!

Great shine and nice variety on those stones. How long did you run the ivory soap step?

I ran the Ivory soap for 24 hours then checked for shine. I was happy with the results, so went ahead and took them out. I have run batches for several days. Depends on what I am doing and how impatient I get. I run all my batches in Ivory. Even after washing each stone individually it is amazing how the soap takes on a gray color. I assume this is the residual material coming off the stones.
