i have a LOT of brass that I want to store. Some once fired, some new. Particularly with the once fired, I’d like to take some provision to keep it from tarnishing in storage
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
Works great.I usually put them in heavy duty freezer bags, gallon size. Fill them up about 3/4 of the way, snap the top about 2/3rds the way. Then roll it so that all the air you can gets out.
Seal it when you get to that point, toss it on a shelf where you want them out of the way. Should stay nice and shiny until you need them again.
that and cascade dishwasher plastic binsstore them in plastic Folgers coffee “cans.”
Tumble it with wax based brass polish, don't handle it when it comes out, put it in a relatively air tight container, and leave it be.
Apparently I'm still full of pee and vinegar, because my fingerprints will rust steel,
CDC says to wear a mask.Forgot to mention that bit. I glove up for the whole reloading process. My skin doesn't come into contact with the brass once it goes into the tumbler until I'm loading the finished product into the magazine. Apparently I'm still full of pee and vinegar, because my fingerprints will rust steel, tarnish brass, hell, I've eaten right thru the backs of cheap watches.
I was wondering about the Nu-Finish. I’d heard that before. Didn’t know how it worked out. That or Walkalong’s idea about wax based polishtumble mine with walnut and NuFinsh
I am sorry to hear that you are one of Those Highly-Corrosive-Sweat Guys. That has to be a major PITA.... Apparently I'm still full of pee and vinegar, because my fingerprints will rust steel, tarnish brass, hell, I've eaten right thru the backs of cheap watches. ...
