Harbor Freight walnut media?

[DJ Skillz]

Is it any good? If so, what's better, course or fine?

Thanks.

Does it work? Yes.
Is it Dusty? Yes.

It is what I use + a cap of NuFinish. The results are as good as can be expected outside of Wet Tumbling with SS media.

Mix in a tablespoon or so of mineral spirits with the walnut and not only will the dust disappear, but it will knock the nasty off your brass in a hurry.

Make sure the media is of a fine consistency and it should work fine.

This is a better deal IMO

Free shipping too.

That is a good deal, but I don't know what I would do with 40 pounds of it.

I think I'll give the HF stuff a shot. Doesn't sound like it's too bad.

I went with the Drillspot deal, it is good to know that I can tumble to my heart's content and still have plenty left over for after the Apocalypse, or whatever is coming that all those people are preparing for... actually, I reckon I will use the 40lbs up in about 2 years.

I went with the same stuff from Drillspot but got it at Grainger instead, except I went with Corncob vs. Walnut.

I'd get the Coarse, It will turn into Fine by itself.

Do you have any negative effect on the plastic bowl with adding mineral spirits?
