[QUOTE="marchboom, post: 1681113, member: 10562"] I've never had brass appear black or darkened. Have no idea what is causing it. My method is as follows: Deprime brass then soak in a solution of 1pt of water and 1/4 teaspoon of Lemishine for 45 minutes. Depriming allows the solution to get inside the cases and primer pockets (no trapped air). Note: Allowing the brass to soak for over an hour OR adding more Lemishime to the water will cause the brass to turn a pinkish color. Allow the brass to dry then tumble in walnut shell media for 1-2 hrs. DONE! I use [SIZE=6][B]Zilla Ground English Walnut Shells Desert Blend[/B][/SIZE] from Amazon. It will not get stuck in the flash holes. 8 hrs in a tumbler is overkill unless the brass is really tarnished. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
