I've looked through it, and it's not terrible bad, but needs to be cleaned up a bit.
I was thinking a walnut media, but it's going to cost more for shipping than the bag of media from Midway, and I don't have anything local(except Gander Mtn, and Midway would still be cheaper with the shipping).
A few folks recommends some type of animal bedding or litter, but I've never messed with that.
Also, someone mentioned some kind of car polish, but again, I've never messed with it.
The tumbler I'm going to be using is a 5 gallon bucket mounted on a slow rpm direct drive motor(I built it the first time about 10 years ago for rocks).
Any recommendations?
Also, I'm not doing any liquid cleaners, I want something I put in the bucket, turn it on and walk away, come back the next day and pull the brass out.
