[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2471600, member: 30902"] The secret to wet tumbling no matter what kind of media you are using is time. I don't care how dirty your brass is, if you have the rolling barrel type tumbler 15-25 minutes is probably going to be enough. Check it, and if it needs a bit more go ahead and run it another five or ten. Pins are definitely the way to go. Now I'll throw you for a big loop. Dump all your media out and just use whatever cleaning solution/water mix you've already been using and see where that gets you. It won't be polished up like new but all of the carbon and gunk should be gone. If you want shiny then run it through a dry tumbler afterwards. I use about a teaspoon of dawn and a couple of ounces of Purple Power degreaser along with a sprinkle of lemi shine. Over tumbling with the steel media will eat your brass at warp speed so be careful. [/QUOTE]
