Wet cleaning brass

Post by 4t5 »

Anyone else here use a vibratory to wet clean brass?
I’ve been doing it for a while with great results, cup of water, a small drizzle of dawn dish detergent and lemon juice , works great.
Plus side is different calibers don’t get locked together as with the dry media.
Down side is the metal hardware inside is not corrosion resistant.

Not a vibratory model (I still use dry cleaning media with it), but I picked up a cheap rock tumbler from Harbor Freight to do some small batch cleaning. It works great! :D

I always used the walnut media when I had vibratory tumblers, never wet. Great idea. I use a Thumler's now, but it is kind of a production.
