[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1151939, member: 39764"] I started wet tumbling last year. I was going to go the Thumlers / STI route and then came along the Frankfort Arsenal complete package... Tumbler and pins for 160 bucks, so I went that route and the FA tumbler holds 1.5 times as many cases as the Thumlers.... No brainer far as I was concerned. I got the FA retrieval magnet and a cheap Cabelas rotary seperator and all is good. However, I use the liquid Lemi-Shine (about 1/2 teaspoon to a load) and Dawn don't have to be used, any liquid dish soap works, I even tried Simple Green with good results. About a teaspoon per load, not too much to make too much suds, the pins do the work. Hot water works best, gets them clean faster and add a plain asprin tablet to the mix. The asprin helps the Lemi-shine keep the tarnish off.... 'Borrow. your wife's dehydrator to dry them or on a cookie sheet in the oven on warm only. Just my 2 cents. I gave my cob tumbler to a guide friend who is just starting out reloading. [/QUOTE]
