[QUOTE="Guest, post: 20738"] Gentlemen, Have any of you ever used a product called ISSO clean to polish brass. It's the stuff that works like liquid silver cleaner. I tried it out recently as an alternative to tumbling brass in polishing media. The thing is, a shooting buddy of mine told me that getting the inside of the cases wet will reduce the life thereof by resulting in corrosion down by the flash hole. Of course, I promptly rinsed the brass in hot water following treatment with the ISSO clean compound and then threw it in the oven and baked it at low temperature (well < 200 degrees) a little to dry it out, thinking this would prevent the onset of any corrosion. But he came right back with the response that heating one's brass like this also weakens it, thereby further reducing the life thereof. Enlighten me here, brothers! Regards, David [/QUOTE]
