T-cut perfect paint additive for dry tumble dryer

[tim@tcs]

I bought a tumbling media very similar to jewellers rouge for a final polish but over the years both have become mixed up so I only need to give it one polish and it looks ok!

That is only because Lapua does not polish after annealing. They are polished in an earlier stage of manufacturing. Many other manufacturers polish a final time after annealing, which is why the annealing color change isn't visible.

By that score if Lapua brass looks too shiny then it’s skipped the annealing for some reason which explains why the first .223 brass I bought from them failed

Now got the cleanest most polished tumbler in the land.

Had lovely shiny brass, i gave it away I use wire wool now, all I need for what I do

Quite possibly. Every manufacturer has had to deal with errors or oversights in manufacturing (for example, Hornady's exploding 147 ELDX bullets in their first production run of 6.5PRC ammunition). A lot of shooters were very disappointed when that happened (especially since Hornady never officially admitted to it, or exchanged the ammunition for ammunition with properly made jackets, though it was a problem seen across the LR shooting community).

Typically, I just rinse off the brass with tap water. If your water is relatively soft, you'll have no problems. After rinsing, I just dump the cases into a towel, and use the "bowling ball" method of removing the excess water. Then into an oven on the "warm" setting for about 20 mins.

BTW: The "bowling ball" method is simply dropping the cases onto a large towel, then folding each side (lengthwise) over the brass. Holding each end of the towel (to keep the flaps folded over the brass, you then roll the brass from one end of the towel to the other, keeping the brass in the (now made) tube of a towel). This wipes all the excess water off the exterior of the case, as well as knocks water free from inside the case. After rolling the cases back and forth several times, just move one hand over an old cookie sheet, and let the cases slide out of the end of the towel onto the cookie sheet. Make sure they're laying flat, and toss into the oven. This will also dislodge any remaining pins that may have adhered to the inside of the case due to any water inside the case causing surface tension to stick pins to the inside case wall.

And yes, that looks like the right kind of car wash (looks very much like the "Meguir's brand we have here).

I do similar with a towel already.

I’m in a very hard water area, though I have a rain water harvesting tank below the garden so use that on brass.
