FS: Walnut media for tumbling

[OldShooter32]

Seven pounds of new walnut media shipped to you for $15.

That's what fits in the small USPS flat-rate box. If you want more, let me know and I'll quote a price.

A capful of NuFinish car polish and a run through your tumbler will brighten your brass and your day.

PM or email what you need.

$10 FTF locally.

What brand is the media?

Moving this to the correct forum. Age-related mis-post.

I always wondered, How about good ol "Brasso"? It's made for brass polishing and doesn't plug up the brass like the car polish does in my lyman tumbler. It's cheaper than car polish at wallys and works better too. I wonder why it works better? I'm thinking because it's made to polish brass, not paint?

It does so by eating up a little of the surface brass. It has ammonia in it which will make the cases brittle. A big no no in principle. Will it kill your brass? I guess it hasn't done it so far, but continued exposure to ammonia is definitely not a good thing.

A little write up on the subject.

If you run the tumbler or vibrator without brass, then add the polish and let it spread out, you won't get the clumping you get if you add it while the brass is going. Also, add half of a dryer sheet and it will reduce the dust you get. Cleans it off the cases too.

For polish I add a cap of Nufinish every few batches to keep the media treated.
