I guess building wife her "woman cave" over last Christmas paid off. When she got her new washer/dryer set, she looked at the old front-loading washer and said, "Can you use that for the garage?" thinking washing shop towels and rags separate from house laundry.
Can I use it? Absolutely! First thought that came to mind was a new wet tumbler for brass!
I thought about venturing into wet tumbling last year using stainless media, but too many projects came up and never got to it. I am new to wet tumbling. I have read posts where people used everything from 5 gallon bucket to stock pot on stove top!
The drum is stainless steel and I am thinking about starting with just laundry detergent/dish soap and small mesh drawstring bags to even out the loads using the gentle cycle. The cases wet tumbled will be deprimed pistol (9mm/40S&W/45ACP) and .223/.308 cases.
How much case can I put in the washer?
How about the temperature of the water?
Any wet tumbling recipes?
If I use fine enough mesh bags, I am wondering if I could use the stainless media?
