    Hello,

    I was playing with different methods of shining brass.

    Wet tumbling, I used 2 cups water and added one tablespoon lime juice.

    This is the result:



    I hope this helps someone!

    Regards,

    Josh

    Before i had SS and a tumbler I would just toss them all in a bucket with hot water and Lemi Shine and leave over night.
    They look real good like that as well. Yu can also get the same stuff from Amazon as they use the same acid in some foods. So a Big Old Bag is cheap

    How come whenever someone posts pictures using photobucket I can’t see the pictures? Just a warning to update my account?

    A couple of weeks ago Photobucket stopped offering free third party image hosting. It will now cost you $300 a year for that service. Or just do like everybody else and start using some other image host.

    Well I am not going to pay 300 bucks to look at someone else's pic's unless it comes from Hooters. LOL

    PS I never had a Photobucket account

    Did the same thing..awesome! But......make sure your brass is completely dry after tumbling. Just a little bit of moisture will tarnish them inside the bag.
