Lemishine

[Phlier]

Just thought I'd throw a post up showing the results I get with the Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler, 5 lbs of stainless steel pins,2 heaping tablespoons of citric acid, and a "glug" of turtle wax car wash-n-wax. That's just about 1,000 rounds of .223 brass.

^^^^^Very nice results.

I found citric acid in a product called Glisten Dishwasher cleaner... It is a liquid ...1/2 teaspoon/gallon ... Teaspoon of Mothers car wash and wax ...Results in shiny clean brass that is passivated... About $3.85 for 6 oz. Local grocery store or Walmart.

Nice looking brass Phlier. I see that you use the same scientific measuring technique as I do for adding the wax and wash.

Just curious if someone has come up with a more formal process based on weight of brass and measured amount of citric acid/Lemishine and wash and wax? Obviously, brass condition is going to dictate tumble time depending on tumbler being used.

Thanks for posting about the Dillon powder die sticking , unless you use auto wash .I was having a problem with dawn. And now using armor all wash and wax it works great . best regards Frank

My method is much the same as everybody else with the exception I start off with hot water in the tumbler with the citric acid and the dish washing liquid, I found the hot water does make a difference.

I have the Frankford Arsenal tumbler. Istarted off with 1 tablespoon of Dawn (1 ounce) and 1/4 table spoon (not more than 1/2) of LemiShine. I now use 1 tablespoon of Mothers Wash and Wax and 1/4 to 1/2 of Jet Dry. I think the Jet Dry gives a better quality of luster than the LemiShine. Could be in my head but I like the Jet Dry better.

Has anyone tried a water and soap combination in a tub style vibration cleaner? I'm not sure on how tight the lid would be to be water tight.
