I recently started wet tumbling my cases in SS media. I have a Franklin Arsenal wet tumbler and have been using 1/4 teaspoon of Dawn and 1/4 teaspoon of Lemishine. The results are amazing with brass looking like "factory new".
However, the brass starts to tarnish after a week or two, even when sealed in air-tight containers with gel packs.
I have read several posts in various forums that say.... "there is nothing you can do to prevent the brass from tarnishing." However, my factory loaded ammo does tarnish. So... there must be something they are doing to keep there brass bright and shiny for years.
I like to keep my brass cleaner, sized, and primed so it is ready to be reloaded quickly when I need it so its really not an option to wet tumble it again to shine it up again before reloading.
Has anyone found a wet tumbling process or tarnish preventing solution that preserves the brass with the same color and shinny finish as it had went it was first removed from the tumbler?
