This Changes Everything: Case Cleaning

Wrights brass polish is a water based brass polish. Many car waxes, especially cleaner waxes and polishes are petroleum based and can harm primer and powder.

HAHAHAHA I had this question about 5 months ago when I asked about which tumbler was best, and someone mentioned rice in the vibrating tumbler.
My next question was about adding a brass polish already in the reloading arena.
I like using specific tools built for the purpose to get the best results, didn't account for basic household options.

I'm using acetone based products because of the drying effect. I don't want the rice to swell and loose its cleaning properties. The rice with acetone and "goof off" has not swelled and still going strong.

so once it does swell and quit cleaning, will it become fried rice?

No, but sew it into cloth bags and light it up on a tiki torch for a game of napalm cornhole

If you want to extend your corn media along way put cut-up new or used Bounce Fabric softener sheets in it while tumbling!

I would bet the rice does all the work, and the acetone evaporates fairly quickly, i.e. in less than two minutes.
I'm not a fan of using highly flammable solvents without proper ventilation.

P7M13 I think he uses the rice and drinks the acetone,what ya think?

Dunno. Nasty thought, tho'.
I had acquaintances who served in 'nam who talked about the tsingtao beer they drank there having formaldehyde in it.

You could always wash your media and retreat it.

 

[ntsqd]

Am I supposed to steam or fry the rice?
White rice or brown rice?
Long, medium or short grain?

 

[rewiltshire]

There are different types of "Goof Off'. Which one?

@BFD Guns Thanks for the info. when I looked this product up I noticed there were different kinds for different problems. I can get it at one of my local hardware stores, just needed to know which one.
I will give this a try on my BPCR cartridges. Black powder makes a BIG mess with a lot of corrosive residue both inside and out. Spend a lot of time cleaning these cartridges cases and something that can speed that process up will be helpful, at least to me.
