  3. PS, When do you take the rocks out? And do you let it dry on it's side or standing up?

  4. Thanks for stopping by both of you!

    Oh whoops! I forgot to add that part- We took the rocks out after we rolled it around and before we set them out to dry. And they can dry on their sides or standing up. We tried both and the paint was spread around enough that we didn't get any drips at all.
