[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2451010, member: 93138"] I would expect that the walnut shells would pick up the baking soda much like corn cob holds the rouge. Maybe not all of the soda, but a fair amount. Some would fall to the bottom, but not all of it. Perhaps not even most of it. A leap of informed faith would lead me to suspect that baking soda is roughly 1200 grit (being that tooth paste in that range) so it would act a bit like using the polishing rouge used in corn cob. I wouldn't waste good whiskey on that, just drink it neat as god intended. ;) Tabasco is likely going to have some acetic acid in it from the vinegar. That might make the brass look good, but I've no idea what it will chemically do to the metal. It does nicely remove rust from steel with a short soaking, and remove steel from the steel if left in way too long. You can probably guess how I know this....... :( I'd be very wary of using BonAmi etc. as I think those are a coarser grit and I suspect would actually wear down the brass over time. [/QUOTE]
