I figure just a few days, since the last of the course grit probably broke down into fine grit anyway...

Better safe than sorry. Let it go for 7 days.

Should I recharge the grit in several days? Wouldn't it loose its "oomph" early as it starts out finer? BTW, I see you are only 5 more posts away from apotheosis...

No. You only need to use fine grit one time.

Glad you made it! Figure Rockyraccoon (currently 467) is next for Godhood!

Well, it happened again. We had a LONG power outage in yesterday's storm. I called my aunt and had her come and unplug the tumbler. Two questions: 1) The tumbler had problems starting up before (although I had lessened the load and this seems to help). But what if it had restarted and been unable to turn when the power came back, if I were still at work? Would this have damaged anything? 2) I did not want the slurry to set, so I redid the fine grit after cleaning it out. With new grit, can I cut a day or two off the tumbling time (it was about 100 hours before the lights went out)?
