[QUOTE="czymtn, post: 1577835, member: 35874"] Too much LemiShine - it's fairly acidic, so reduce that. Don't tumble excessively long w/pins (esp. w/the LemiShine) - beats the brass up a bit. You can get tarnish and water-spotting by not drying also, depending on water source/quality. Rinse the brass in clean water, post-tumble, and drain. Get a cheap food dehydrator at the Goodwill or on sale, with as many drying racks as you can, arrange the brass on the racks right after tumbling and 'dehydrate' until dry. That should help hold the 'shine'. You can dry your pins this way too, by spreading them on a cloth over one of the drying racks. [/QUOTE]
