Washing Brass Pistol Success

[LiveLife]

How about using OdJob™ Concrete Mixer? It's a 5 gallon bucket with internal mixing fins with sealing lid. Put your brass and cleaning liquid and roll it around.

I thought about using this to wet tumble my brass with ceramic/stainless media on a custom built tumbling platform with recycled garage door opener motor. I originally thought about using a 5 gallon bucket with sealed pop-riveted mixing fins and bucket tilted at an angle so the tumbler can operate without the lid and keep the liquid from splashing out.

It takes 5 minutes of hands on time minutes to polish 1000 pieces to brilliance. I can spend the other 20 minutes people spend washing and drying brass to load ammo or relax.

It takes me less than five minutes per batch to wash and dry the brass prior to tumbling. That five minutes highly reduces the issues associated with lead contaminants in the tumbler's dust, and as a result I consider it to be an excellent investment.

Really easy to dry brass if you have an old dehydrator lying around. Just set it and forget it.

The stainless media isthe best method of cleaning brass I have ever found. I bought the media through a member of this site. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1513345#Post1513345
