Found something that works better - Kurt - 08-25-2019 I shot a few rounds yesterday and I ran out of Lemishine so I took some of Carolyns stuff she uses in the dish washer and put one of the packs it in the Frankfort Arsenal Tumbler and turned it on for one hour. When it finished I dumped it in a classifier that holds the ceramics so it don't drop in the 5 gallon bucket, it just drains off the dirty water and man what a surprise I got looking at the brass. It came out cleaner than anything I ever used. [attachment=1485] RE: Found something that works better - Dave Roelle - 08-25-2019 Hi Kurt, i have been using a two step tumble with SS pins 30 minutes with 1 oz Gain clothes detergent with 1/2 oz of real lemon juice rinse then 15 minutes with Blue Coral car wash n wax------- brilliant shine that won't tarnish Dave RE: Found something that works better - Kurt - 08-25-2019 TNX. Dave. Sofar I don't see any discoloration showing up like I see using Dawn and Lemishine. I think I will see a lot of pros & cons here and Shiloh. RE: Found something that works better - Dave Roelle - 08-25-2019 Yup its kinda like lube formula huh its the acid for shine and the super thin coat of wax that works here on the humid gulf coast, last match was another 90+ degree 90+ humidity shoot, everything will tarnish and rust faster than fair Keep well Sir Dave RE: Found something that works better - Kurt - 08-25-2019 That is why I don't venture to far below Louisville KY. RE: Found something that works better - Dave Roelle - 09-09-2019 Some interesting feedback over on the Shiloh site, ill be interested to see Waynes article, we shoot together often Stay safe Dave
