What did you do in the reloading room today?

got my first brass tumbler fired up on some corncob media with some brass polish mixed in. After a couple hours, the brass looks 'not bad'... I'm too new to understand when to say enough is enough, though.

JM's thread about leaving it on over night kinda piqued my interest.

so.. How long is too long, and how long is not long enough?

Try using some NuFinish car polish and toss in 2 torn dryer sheet. I run the tumblers for 1-2hrs min. Going to convert a front loading dryer to a high volume tumbler.

A dryer? How are you going to seal the vent holes?

No need. Using PVC to make smaller chanbers. Then use the dryer to act ac the "wheel" to rotate the individual tubes. It's going to be a reverse engineered wet tumbler. EVERYONE is using some closable cylinder on rotating "wheels" i'm doing it reverse. Picture the HF tumbler http://www.harborfreight.com/3-lb-ro...ler-67631.html Instaed og the tubes being externally mounted, they will roll inside the rolling mechanism. Just like a cement mixer.
