I admit it - Im a high polish brass addict!!:banghead:
I spend an obscene amount of time cleaning and polishing my brass.
On one of my 'out-of-control' days, I actually
hand polished 1000 .223 cartridges with Flitz.
I ran out half ways but completed my relapse
with Mothers Aluminum and Mag Polish
(the best stuff around -if you can find a connection)
My question is not how to recover from this affliction but how to
store my beloved jewels to prevent oxidation and changes from humidity.
I thought of some kind of humidity-free closet or safe but price is prohibitive.
Normally, I store ammo in plastic MGM plastic boxes and baggies.
However, since I keep all gun related stuff in my garage,
it gets affected by the ambient temp and humidity.
Here in NJ, the past coupla weeks have seen high temps and
humidity destroying the beloved mirror-like surface to the brass.
In the privacy of my garage, I actually use
cotton gloves to place all ammo in boxes and bags.
(At the range, I use the gloves when loading mags if no one is watching)
And then wait for the compliments from the crowd....
" Wow, how do you get that shine?"
I bask in the glory......
Any suggestions appreciated ( zip lock bags dont cut it)
Im really fiending!!!
TIA
