[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2952169, member: 87371"] Wet vs. dry tumbling: I've tried 'em both. Wet gives you cases that look like they just came from the store, dry gives you cases that are clean and sometimes bright, but not as sparkling. For your purposes I think dry is probably the ticket. Dump them in, turn it on, perhaps with a very little diamond polishing compound, and forget 'em for an hour. You'll probably want a separator to separate the media from the cases, and you'll find horself using some kind of pick to pick the media out of the flashhole and sometimes the case itself, but other than that you're done. You won't find yourself spending as much time picking media (SS pins) out of flashholes with wet tumbling, but you'll have to dry the cases and make sure to shake the pins out of the case. I like the look of wet, but the convenience of dry. If you have a friend who could walk you through both processes, that would help you make the decision. Whatever you do, unless you're made of money, don't buy both. Like I did. Too much equipment, too much expense. [/QUOTE]
