1. Complete steps 1 and 2 as you would any agate (with obsidian as the only stone in your tumbler). You might find that cutting down the length you run them from 7 to 5 days is good enough.
2. When you load step 3, replace 1/2 the water with corn syrup. This will thicken the solution, which makes the process slow down.

Let your rock tumbler run for 7 days in this stage.
3. For the final polish use TIN OXIDE ONLY. Cerium may work OK, but not as good as tin oxide. Aluminum and titanium don't work at all on obsidian. Once again replace at least half the water with corn syrup. Do use fresh plastic pellets. Don't try washing and re-using the pellets from the previous step.
