[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1445480, member: 28965"] The purpose of the Nu Finish that thousands of reloaders use is to keep the cases from tarnishing. Cathodic protection is like galvanizing steel with a zink coating. In museums they use a neutral PH wax on the metals of antique firearms and other metals to prevent corrosion. If air and moisture can't get at the metal it will not corroded, and WHY they use Nu Finish with the tumbling media. Our forefathers would rub a mixture of 1/3 beeswax, 1/3 raw linseed oil and 1/3 turpentine on their firearms wood and metal to protect them from the elements. This same mixture was used during the Civil War as cosmoline. And this same mixture was used by the lady of the house as old world pre-petroleum age furniture polish, and was "NOT" galvanic protection. [/QUOTE]
