[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1681274, member: 90080"] Depending on how long you've used your batch of media, it's most likely to be saturated with carbon residue from your previosly fired & tumbled brass. Also it just wears out. I use a 50/50 mix of walnut and small screen corncob, it cleans and polishes up very well in 1-2 hours. When my dryer sheets show a lot of black, I dump that batch and start over. I keep a bunch of old, large bath towels to remove any dust left from tumbling. Just a three-way fold, along long side, then roll back & forth for a few minutes. I don't want that dust, especially carbon dust, in my annealer or scratching my dies. Because I shoot a lot, I now buy bulk media from blasting media companies. A 40# bag of each will last 2-3 years and saves money over the smaller jugs. [/QUOTE]
