hello all
just splashed out on a dry tumbler first question,
I have read that you can buy larger quantities of walnut shot blasting media a lot cheaper than normal media, is it ok to use ?
second question
can you add a polish to dry media for that extra shine to the brass ?
thanks all

its the ammonia in brasso that isn't good for brass ? got some silver polish add a few drops then break the clumps up and tumble as normal ?
thanks
yes ....i used a little years ago and no problems but over doing it tends to turn edges pink.
try silver polish.
to clean media , place in knotted pillowcase and put in washer then tumble dry.....make sure it is secure.
after awhile it will go dusty.....put a tumble dryer anti static sheet torn into strips in

don't think the other half will be to pleased just had a new washer lol just the best things to tumble with or add to the media

just after an expert opinion this should be ok in a tumbler

was thinking this isn't a bad price and im hoping it wont turn my brass into after eight mint wrapper thickness
in bulk will be similar if not the same as 'shooting' related media and cheaper.
If it feels like concrete chippings sell it to Loiner on here :-) He uses all sorts of stuff!
Joking aside it should work fine - the brass doesn't get high speed blasted, just tumbled.
Start by tumbling 20 cases for a couple of hours then check if they're bling enough. Repeat as necessary.
