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.

What did you get and how does it work?

Gunner

Just their Rapid Polish 290, still in my 30 yr. old Thumler's Tumbler.
It works at least as good as Brasso, doesn't have the ammonia. They
claim it doesn't weaken the brass like Brasso, but I had very few case
failures loading .357 brass over and over for years using Brasso. I
lost my 50 lb. bag of walnut hulls in a move, so I'm using some Lyman
media right now.
