What kind of Brasso are you guys talking about?

OK, more exactly, do you use liquid brasso or some kind of powder? I
have the liquid brasso at home.

The liquid. Simply fill up a tablespoon with the stuff..maybe two..and
dump it into the media if its walnut hulls, corn cobs etc etc.


I am running it with Brasso now... thanks for a great tip...

Give it a couple hours at the least. Its a very fine abrasive, but it
works pretty damned well.

Brasso also has ammonia in it, which is the active ingredient in a lot
of copper fouling bore cleaners. However, it's only at 2-3% You can
google the msds. I've used exactly the same thing, Brasso on walnut
hulls, for a long time for brass for reloading. I now have some stuff
from Dillon.
