I've been cleaning cases with a tumbler but am starting to get a few cases that are stained and won't clean with tumbling but seem to be otherwise sound. I have monitored other threads about chemical cleaning and I think that I may start using that instead.
So, here are some questions that might be of interest to others as well as myself. What type of cleaner works best? Isso (sp) and Birchwood Casey seem to be the most commonally available. Are there others? Any "secret recipes" that work better than commercial mixes? Any tips on what not to do? Any thoughts on how much crud is too much? Cost vs. media? Cost isn't a big concern because I am getting real tired of poking media out of the flash hole. Any concerns with brass reacting with the chemicals and deteriorating?
I'm sure I forgot something but that much info would be a big help.
