Drying Brass

[Walks]

I made a drying rack where the case mouths slide down over finishing nails, blow out the primer pockets and set in SoCal SunShine

Used GALVANIZED nails

I made racks too, first I used golf tees (picked up off the course next door) glued through holes in a laminated plastic cutting board, pointed end up. Then made some with pieces of bamboo skewers glued into holes bored into a pice of MDF to hold brass, made them long enough to keep brass elevated off the base board. Last couple I used plastic pins tap-fit into holes of scrap shelf lumber.
Put them out in the sun for an hour. I read in a similar thread a couple weeks ago about the clothes dryer stationary rack. Brilliant idea. 15 minutes at low heat and they are dry! These are for 45 acp & 9 mm. I went with longer pins for longer brass

I dry the cases in a towel held like a hammock rocked by up and down on the sides. Then I dump them in my Hi-Tek baking racks, then into the Hi-Tek - powder coat convection oven at 200 f for about 20 min.

Food dehydrator....works like a champ ! Check out garage and estate sales , doesn't have to be new.

My local Goodwill had 3 or 4 food dehydrators on the shelf. $8 well spent for the few hours of winter we have. Otherwise a fan and the Texas sun does fine.

I use those 50 round plastic trays that come with some brands of 44 or 45 pistol ammo. Just turn the cases upside down and set the tray over a furnace duct and they are dry in no time.(provided your furnace comes on!)

A few days laying around in my house. Humidity is below 30%, so brass dries out in just a few days. Buy more brass, save money by air drying.

I do all brass cleaning/drying in the Summer, on a 36"sq of framed 1/4" hardware cloth, in the sun. I do enough to last me through the snow and cold. Brass is mosty free so volume is no problem.

Also do the hammock rock side to side to get rid of most of water

to save $$ and space I use the 'brass in the sun' method but put them on a dark towel to absorb more of sun's rays

inside sit on same towel and put under ceiling fan overnight.
