    Brass Shining Made Easy!

    Hello,

    I was playing with different methods of shining brass.

    Wet tumbling, I used 2 cups water and added one tablespoon lime juice.

    This is the result:



    I hope this helps someone!

    Regards,

    Josh

    What did you use: Rotary Tumbler, Vibratory Tumbler, Sonic Cleaner? Did you use Steel Pins, Ceramic, or nothing but water/Lime Juice.?

    Hello,

    No, no pins. I've not used them in years.

    Just an old rock polisher I have. I cleaned by wet tumbling in 2 cups water to 1 drop Dawn, then rinsed, resized/deprimed, and tumbled in the 2 cups water to 1 tbsp lime juice.

    Regards,

    Josh
