[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1577411, member: 106189"] For me, it's the combination of less Lemi Shine (1/2 teaspoon) and also rinsing immediately after the tumbler stops. Not doing either can result in the tarnish you're talking about. I take the bin directly from the tumbler and dump it all (brass and pins) into a fine colander suspended over a bucket (fine enough to catch the pins). Rinse immediately with a hose. I then rinse each piece as I'm shaking out the pins. Don't let the mucky water in the bucket fill up to the level of the brass in the colander, as it will put the muck back on your brass. [/QUOTE]
