[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1640580, member: 60453"] Its not the wet tumbling per se. Its the use of the steel rod media in the wet tumbling systems on the market. you're tumbling your brass in a media that is much harder than the brass. Its like bouncing little steel bbs off the brass for an hour or two. I use the soft medias and a liquid brass polish which I add a couple of cap fulls of into the media. Corn cob or walnut shell is much softer than brass, and just applies a thin coat of polish and then removes it as it vibrates across the brass. It won't work harden the brass. There's just enough brass polish in the media to clean the brass, and the only impact is between the casings themselves, which is minimal. [/QUOTE]
