Hiya, Question number 3,874...
I've been reading that some guys use Brasso in the tumbler medium..( I use crushed walnut)....I'd like to try it, so, how much would I put into said medium ?...
Sorry to be so vague, but I'm very new at this great side of shooting...
Cheers guys..

I just use a splash of white spirit in the crushed walnut shells - it works for me.

I did wonder about that, with it being more abrasive, that's why I wanted to know how much to put in...

Would turpentine substitute do the same job?? I ask cos I've got about half a gallon of the stuff in the shed....I just use a splash of white spirit in the crushed walnut shells - it works for me.

Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper , Ammonia and some acid's leach the zinc out the alloy leaving a more copper rich alloy with less strength , If you leave some brass cases over night in an acid rich solution you will end up with copper coloured cases as the zinc in the surface of the alloy has gone.
